INTRODUCTION. 


PREVIOUS  to  the  American  Revolution  this  country  was 
supplied  with  Bibles  in  the  English  language,  chiefly  from 
Great  Britain.  Publishers  in  the  Plantations  are  represented 
as  having  been  under  the  impression,  that  if  they  reprinted 
the  work,  they  would  be  guilty  of  an  infringement  of  the 
exclusive  right  possessed  by  certain  parties  in  England,  and 
expose  themselves  to  prosecution.  If  we  add  to  this,  the 
abundant  supply  from  abroad;  the  low  price  of  English  copies,1 
and,  above  all,  the  fashion  which  then  gave,  as  it  now  gives, 
a  preference  to  issues  from  the  English  press,  we  shall  find 
the  causes  that  prevented  the  publication  of  the  Bible  in  the 
Old  Colonies,  as  they  are  at  present  a  bar  to  its  publication 
in  the  remaining  British  Possessions  on  this  Continent. 

We  might,  therefore,  have  come  down  to  the  era  of  Ame 
rican  Independence  without  meeting  an  American  Bible, 
had  not  an  humble  Indian  Missionary,  as  devoted  as  he  was 
disinterested,  translated  the  sacred  volume  for  his  little  flock. 
Thus,  the  first  edition  of  the  Bible  "  that  was  ever  printed 


1  In  a  trial  in  England,  between  John  Baskett,  plaintiff,  and  Henry  Pear 
son,  defendant,  the  price  of  the  Common  English  Nonpareil  Bible,  was 
stated  to  have  been  in  1G90,  2s.  G</.,  and  in  1720,  2ld,  It  fell  subsequently 
to  a  shilling.  No  American  publisher  could  compete  against  such  prices. 


vi  INTRODUCTION. 

in  all  America  since  the  very  foundations  of  the  world,"1 
came  forth  most  appropriately  in  a  purely  American  lan 
guage,  a  monument  of  the  patience,  piety,  and  zeal  of  the 
venerable  ELIOT.  In  1678,  A  Harmony  of  the  Gospels,  by 
the  same  author,  followed;  in  1707  a  portion,  and  in  1708 
the  whole,  of  The  Gospel  of  St.  John,  was  published  at 
Boston,  in  Indian  and  English,  and  these  are  all  that  had 
been  accomplished  in  this  country  in  the  field  of  Biblical 
literature,  at  the  commencement  of  the  eighteenth  century, 
if  we  except  some  metrical  versions  of  the  Psalms  and  de 
tached  pieces  of  Scripture. 

COTTON  MATHER  was  undoubtedly  the  first  who  projected 
the  publication  in  America  of  an  edition  of  the  Bible  in  Eng 
lish.  He  commenced  the  preparation  of  what  he  called  the 
Biblia  Americana,  about  the  year  1695,  and  having  spent 
fifteen  years  in  collecting  and  compiling  notes,  comments 
and  expositions,  announced,  in  1710,  the  completion  of  his 
work,  in  an  Advertisement  at  the  end  of  one  of  his  Tracts,2 
hoping  "  that  the  Glorious  head  of  the  Church  will  stir  up 
some  generous  minds  to  forward  an  undertaking  so  confess 
edly  worthy  to  be  prosecuted." 

But  this  hope  was  not  realized.  No  printer  could  be  found 
in  the  Colonies  to  hazard  such  an  enterprise. 

Disappointed  at  home,  Dr.  Mather  determined  to  make 
an  appeal  abroad,  and  in  1713  issued  another  Prospectus, 
addressed  mainly  to  London  publishers.  As  the  matter  of 
the  Advertisement  of  1710  is  included  in  the  Prospectus  of

INTRODUCTION.  vii 

1713,  we  shall  content  ourselves  with  reproducing  the  latter 
only.     It  is  entitled 

A  |  NEW  OFFER  |  TO  THE  LOVERS  OF  [  RELIGION  AND  LEARNING.  | 

It  is  Agreed  by  all  true  Christians,  and  most  Certain  to  them,  That  we  are 
highly  Favoured  of  Heaven,  with  a  Divine  Storehouse  of  Truth  in  our  SACRED 
SCRIPTURES.  The  World  has  nothing  in  it  comparable  to  this  BOOK  OF  GOD, 
and  of  Life.  A  Book,  which  all  the  Learning  under  Heaven  may  be  well 
employ'd,  for  the  Illustration  of ;  and  is  never  so  well  employ'd,  as  when  so 
employ'd.  The  Illustration  of  it,  is  indeed  the  most  Serviceable  and  the 
most  Entertaining  Thing,  that  can  be  offered  unto  them  that  have  any  Value, 
and  Relish  or  Concern  for  that  Knowledge,  which  is  of  all  the  most  valuable, 
and  that  would  be  Wise  unto  the  best  of  Purposes. 

It  is  a  passage  of  the  Celebrated  BOYL  ;  '  When  I  Consider,  how  much 
'  more  to  the  Advantage  of  the  Sacred  Writings,  and  of  Christian  Theology 
u  in  general,  diverse  Texts  have  been  Explained,  and  Discoursed  of,  by  the 
'  Excellent  Grotius,  Masius,  Mede,  and  Sir  Francis  Bacon,  and  some  other 
'  late  great  Witts  (to  name  now  no  Living  ones,)  in  their  several  Kinds,  than 
'  the  same  Places  have  been  handled  by  Vulgar  Expositors,  and  other 
'  Divines ;  And  when  I  consider,  that  none  of  these  Worthies,  was  at  once 
'  a  great  Philosopher  and  a  great  Critick ;  I  cannot  but  hope,  that  when  it 
•  shall  please  God,  to  stir  up  Persons  of  a  Philosophical  Genius,  well  fur- 
'  nished  with  Critical  Learning,  and  the  Principles  of  true  Philosophy,  and 
'  shall  give  them  an  hearty  Concern  for  the  Advance  of  His  Truths,  these 
'  Men  will  make  Explications  and  Discoveries  that  shall  be  Admirable.  You 
'  shall  no  more  measure  the  Wisdom  of  God  couched  in  the  Bible  by  the 
'  Glosses  and  Systems  of  common  Expositors,1  than  aestimate  the  Wisdom 
'  He  has  express'd  in  the  Contrivance  of  the  World,  by  Magirus's  or  Eusta- 
'  chius's  Physicks. 

This  Wise  Man  was  a  Prophet,  when  he  wrote  those  Lines.  An  Age  of 
Light  comes  on ;  Explications  and  Discoveries  are  continually  growing;  which 
all  that  will  but  shew  themselves  Men  cannot  but  imbibe  with  Satisfaction. 
The  Path  of  the  Just  One,  in  His  gracious  Approaches  towards  us,  causes  the 
Light  which  opens  His  Oracles  unto  us,  to  shine  more  and  more  towards  the- 
perfect  Day.  Doubtless  the  Pagan  Longinus  pleased  his  Jewish  Empress, 
the  brave  Zenobia,  when  she  read  him  admiring  the  High  Style  of  Moses 
in  that  stately  Stroke  of  the  Creation;  God  said,  Let  there  be  Light;  And 
there  was  Light !  But  how  admirable  is  that  great  Work  of  the  most  High 
God,  which  has  given  effectual  Order  for  His  Church  in  our  Day ;  Let  there

viii  INTRODUCTION. 

be  Light  in  it,  and  let  my  Oracles  be  Illustrated !  And,  Lo,  there  is  Light, 
and  the  Illustrations  of  the  Sacred  Scriptures  are  carried  on  to  Wonderment ! 
The  Instruments  by  whom  this  Light  is  brought  down  unto  us,  have  of  late 
been  greatly  Multiplied :  God  has  given  His  Word  for  it,  and  Great  has 
been  the  Army  of  those  that  have  published  it. 

Anon,  We  have  the  Admirable  WITSIUS  Comforting  of  us,  with  his 
Report,  of  this  Importance.  Ncq  ;  profecto  Officio  hie  suo  defuerunt  Illustres 

Animse. '  There  have  not  been  wanting  those  Illustrious  Men,  [And 

'  Thou,  my  dear  Witsius,  not  the  least  of  them  /]  who  have  observed  all  the 
'  Solid  Discoveries  in  Philosophy,  all  the  Curious  Researches  of  Antiquity,  or 
'  that  has  occurred  in  Physick,  or  in  Law,  relating  to  the  Sacred  Scriptures, 
'  and  have  applied  it  all  with  a  signal  Dexterity  to  the  Illustration  thereof : 
'  And  so  'tis  come  to  pass,  that  Theology,  which  had  vast  riches  of  its  own 
'  before,  is  now  also  enriched  with  foreign  Spoils,  and  appears  with  those 
'  Ornaments,  which  extort,  even  from  them  that  are  most  of  all  disaffected 
'  unto  it,  a  Confession  of  its  most  Charming  Majesty. 

The  noble  Service  to  Mankind,  thus  proposed,  having  been  so  far  pursued, 
it  is  easy  to  imagine,  that  a  Person  of  but  common  Abilities,  [for  He  who 
now  Writes  may  pretend  unto  no  more ;]  applying  himself  unto  it,  may 
accomplish  a  very  Rich  Collection  of  Illustrations  upon  the  Sacred  Scriptures. 
An  ADVERTISEMENT  now  comes  forth,  to  Inform  the  Friends  of  Learning 
and  Religion,  that  it  is  in  some  degree  accomplished.  An,  Opus  Ecclesise, 
is  ready  when  it  shall  be  call'd  for. 

No  little  Part  of  what  has  been  Written  on  the  great  Intention  of  Illus 
trating  the  Divine  Oracles  has  been  perused.  Some  Hundreds  of  the  Latest 
as  well  as  of  the  Oldest  Writers  that  have  had  any  thing  looking  that  way, 
have  been  Consulted  :  If  not  for  Number  enough  to  have  built  an  Egyptian 
Pyramid,  yet  so  many,  as  to  render  the  Extract  alone  which  is  now  made  from 
them,  a  sort  of  Library. 

Where  small  Pamphlets,  as  well  as  large  Volumm,  have  made  any  valuable 
Offerings  to  the  Service  of  the  Sanctuary,  they  have  not  been  wholly  neglected. 
The  Names  of  them,  whose  grateful  Stores  have  been  brought  into  this 
Common  Hive,  whether  they  be  Dead  or  Living,  are  with  all  decent  Ingenuity 
acknowledged  and  eternized.  Not  only  the  Rare  Thoughts  of  the  more 
Illustrious  Literators,  who  are  known  for  Stars  of  the  first  Magnitude  in  the 
Catalogue  of  them  that  have  handled  the  Pen  of  the  Writer,  but  also  the  Hints 
occurring  in  Books  that  have  made  no  Profession  of  serving  this  Cause,  and 
many  of  them  very  unsuspected  ones,  have  been  seized  for  it.  Many  Thousands 
of  those  Pine  Thoughts,  whereof  sometimes  One  or  Two,  or  a  very  Few,  have 
enabled  a  Writer  to  find  some  Acceptance  in  setting  up  for  Authorism,  are 
here  together  set  upon  the  Table,  in  order  to  a  Feast  of  Fat  Things  full  of 
Marrow,  of  Wines  in  the  Lees  well  refined.  It  cannot  be  presumed  that  the 


INTRODUCTION,  ix 

Eye  of  the  poor  Industry,  which  has  laboured  on  this  Design,  has  yet  seen 
every  precious  Thing,  yet  in  the  more  than  three  Lustres  of  years  which  have 
run  since  it  began  the  Undertaking,  it  has  often  visited  the  Place  of  Sap 
phires,  and  found  the  Dust  of  Gold,  which  is  here  to  be  exposed  unto  the 
more  Sensible  and  Ingenuous  part  of  Mankind,  when  it  shall  be  thought  a 
time  for  it.  And  it  may  be  easily  supposed,  that  one  of  no  more  than  a 
Common  Reach,  Conversing  so  much  with  such  Things,  may  now  and  then 
also  make  a  feeble  Flight  towards  an  Illustration  of  his  own,  that  may  deserve 
Attention.  There  is  an  American  Plant,  which  alone,  as  Hernandez  will 
with  some  Demonstration  tell  us,  Quicquid  vitse  esse  potest  Necessarium, 
facile  prestare  potest ;  it  will  answer  all  the  Necessities  of  Humane  Life,  yea, 
and  supply  the  Delicacies  of  it  also.  It  is  possible,  this  American  Work, 
may  with  as  Universal  an  Accommodation,  afford  what  may  be  Necessary, 
yea,  and  what  may  be  likewise  Delectable,  to  them,  who  in  acquainting  them 
selves  with  the  Best  of  Books,  and  Things,  would  have  their  Studies  well 
accommodated.  The  Collection  makes  Two  FOLIO'S  of  some  considerable 
Dimensions,  which  now  lye  ready  for  Publication  :  Hoping  that  Vossius's 
Complaint  of  another  Country,  will  not  always  be  true  of  Ours,  That  one 
can  hardly  get  any  thing  Printed,  but  either  Quarrels  or  Trifles  ;  Eristica  et 
Nugalia,  quibus  nihil  vendibilius,  ut  ipsi  non  dissimulant  Typographi. 

It  has  been  studied,  that  this  Work  might  not  interfere  with  the  large 
English  Annotations,  begun  by  the  Excellent  POOL,  and  finished  by  some  of 
his  Brethren.  Those  Polan  Annotations  have  been  left  almost  wholly  uncon- 
sulted,  in  the  Composing  of  this  Work,  that  their  Value  and  Vending  may 
not  suffer  the  least  measure  of  Depreciation  from  it.  Nor  will  the  inestimable 
Performances  of  such  as  Mr.  Matthew  Henry  lose  the  least  Grain  of  their 
Esteem  with  the  Faithful,  by  having  this  Work  to  wait,  (if  the  Public  please 
to  have  it  so)  as  an  Appendix  upon  them.  These  Composures  will  be 
singularly  useful  to  one  another. 

The  Work  is  attempted  by  a  Person  so  strictly  adhering  to  the  Principles 
of  the  Christian  Religion,  professed  in  the  Reformed  Churches,  that  the 
Reader  is  perfectly  released  and  secured  from  all  Fear  of  his  finding  here, 
any  dangerous  Innovations  in,  or  Deviations  from,  the  Faith  once  delivered 
unto  the  Saints.  Instead  of  that,  he  will  very  frequently  find,  that  the  most 
important  Articles  of  our  most  Holy  Faith,  are  here  defended  with  a  New- 
Force,  by  setting  in  a  Clear  Light  such  Texts,  as  have  not  been  observed! 
heretofore  to  carry  such  Assertions  in  them,  or  have  been  encumbred  with 
the  Glosses  which  Men  of  Corrupt  Minds  have  put  upon  them.  Nevertheless, 
the  Attempt  is  carried  on,  with  such  a  Catholick  Spirit,  that  it  may  be  hoped 
no  Good  Man,  will  have  any  Matter  of  just  offence  given  unto  him.  It  is 
not  a  Work  animated  with  the  Spirit  of  a  Party  ;  and  it  may  be  hoped,  that 


X  INTRODUCTION. 

nothing  but  that  ungenerous  and  comtemptible  Spirit,  will  cast  the  disdainful 
Eye  of  the  Scorner  upon  it.  Accordingly  it  is  already  come  to  pass,  that 
very  Eminent  Persons,  Divines  of  great  Note,  in  the  Church  by  Law 
Established,  having  been  apprised  of  the  Work,  have  generously  offered 
their  best  Encouragements  unto  it.  Numbers  of  the  best  Men  among  the 
Dissenters  have  expressed  their  Wishes,  not  without  some  Impatience  for  it. 
Scotland  also  invites  it,  expects  it,  requires  it.  In  America,  'tis  asked  for, 
and  waited  for.  And  there  may  be  some  hope,  That  all  Impartial  Christians, 
of  whatever  Denomination  or  Subdivision  in  Christianity,  will  reckon  it, 
An  useful  Work,  For  indeed  Common  Sense  will  say,  it  must  needs  be  so, 
if  the  Books,  from  which  the  Best  Things  are  fetch'd,  and  laid  here  together, 
were  so.  And  yet,  there  is  more  than  this,  to  argue  for  it.  Briefly,  Men  of 
every  Religion,  yea,  and  some  of  no  Religion  at  all,  have  had  Spoils  taken 
from  them,  for  the  Enriching  of  this  Work ;  And,  why  should  not  all  good 
Men,  who  embrace  the  True  Religion,  tho'  of  different  Perswasions  in  some 
lesser  Points  of  it,  Unite  in  the  Enjoyment  of  the  Riches  ? 

To  bestow  the  Censure  of  Pride  and  Vanity,  on  the  proposing  of  such  a 
Work  for  Publication,  would  be  therewith  to  Censure  and  Reproach  all 
Attempts  in  such  a  way  to  serve  the  Public.  Most  certainly  'tis  no  Trespass 
against  the  Rules  of  Modesty,  to  give  the  Public  a  Report  and  a  Tender,  of 
what  has  been  thus  prepared  for  it ;  but  it  would  look  like  one  against  the 
Rules  of  Equity,  to  call  it  so.  Most  certainly,  it  is  a  Modest  Thing,  a  Sober, 
a  Proper,  and  a  very  Lawful  One,  for  an  Honest  Man  to  desire,  that  so  much 
of  a  short  Life,  as  has  been  spent  in  such  a  Preparation,  should  not  be  spent 
in  Vain. 

The  Pen,  which  all  along  this  Work,  pays  all  due  Acknowledgments  unto 
those,  whom  the  Sovereign  GOD  furnished  and  honoured  with  the  Treasures, 
which  are  thro'  their  Hands  come  into  it,  seeks  not  its  own  Honour ;  And  if 
even  the  small  Reputation  of  a  little  Diligence  and  Contrivance  be  denied 
unto  it,  in  this  also  it  will  Propound  all  imaginable  Satisfaction.  It  would, 
if  that  had  been  possible,  have  kept  the  Authors  Name  under  such  a  Reser 
vation,  that  it  must  have  been  only  a  Retainer  to  Placcius's  Treatise,  De 
Scriptoribus  Anonymis.  It  is  content,  that  the  Writer  be  Clouded  with  all 
possible  Obscurity  ;  and  that  it  be  left  wholly  unconsidered,  whether  he  has 
ever  given  any  Testimony  of  a  tolerable  Capacity  for-  such  a  Work  as  this, 
by  any  other  Performances;  or,  whether  any  considerable  Societies  in  the 
World,  have  ever  thought  him  worthy  of  being  Theirs.  It  has  nothing  to 
object  against  as  many  Diminutions  and  Annihilations,  as  the  superiour  Part 
of  Mankind  may  think  agreeable  for  him.  He  only  desires,  that  the  Oblations 
which  he  brings  from  those  that  may  be  accounted  Better  than  himself,  (and 
which  he  might,  if  he  had  pleased,  have  made  in  the  most  common  Methods, 


INTRODUCTION.  xi 

to  pass  for,  His  own),  may  find  Acceptance  with  the  Church,  to  which  we 
all  owe  our  All:  And  that  AMERICA  may  at  length,  with  a  Benign  and 
Smiling  Aspect  of  her  Lady-Mother  upon  her,  come  in  to  do  something, 
for  an  Interest  that  must  have  these  uttermost  Parts  of  the  Earth  for  its 
Possession. 

Sometimes  very  mean  Things,  have  on  the  score  of  their  being  Far-fetcht, 
had  a  value  set  upon  them,  and  not  been  look'd  upon  as  too  Dear-bought,  when 
a  great  Price  has  been  given  for  them.  If  a  Work,  which  is  a  Tree,  that 
grew  on  the  Western  side  of  the  Atlantic,  may  on  that  score  hope  to  be 
valued  by  good  Men,  in  the  other  Hemisphere,  there  will  be  an  accession  of 
this  peculiar  Circumstance,  that,  Gentlemen,  the  Fruits  upon  it,  or  at  least, 
the  Seeds  that  produced  them,  were  most  of  them,  Originally  Your  own : 
And  it  cannot  but  be  a  Pleasure,  if  not  a  Surprize  unto  you,  to  find  that  so 
many  of  your  Best  Things,  have  passed  over  the  great  and  wide  Sea  unto 
the  American  Strand.  Nor  will  it  be  New  or  Strange,  if  some  Things 
happen  to  be  Meliorated,  and  made  more  Sweet  and  Fine,  by  passing  over 
this  mighty  Ocean.  Or,  to  address  you  under  another  Figure  ;  The  Writers 
whom  you  made  much  of,  while  you  had  them  at  Home  with  you  in  a  more 
separate  Condition,  certainly,  will  not  lose  your  Favour,  for  having  Travelled 
Abroad,  and  now  Returned  Home  in  Company ;  tho'  with  their  Habit  and 
Language  having  something  of  an  American  Change  upon  it. 

But,  what  brings  this  Promiser,  that  may  be  worthy  of  so  much 
Expectation  ? 

THIS  is  the  TITLE  of  it.  These  Promises  may  be  made  in  the  Title-Page 
of  it.  Behold  here,  a  Communi  Fax,  unto  it. 

[Here  follows  the  Title,  reprinted  at  page  \Q,post.~\ 

^[  The  usual  Method  for  the  Publication  of  such  a  Work,  has  been,  first 
of  all  to  Publish  PROPOSALS  for  SUBSCRIPTIONS  :  For  who  can  Dream,  that 
such  Bulky  &  Costly  Things,  can  unassisted,  make  their  own  way  into  the 
World  ?  But  in  the  present  Case,  the  Distance  of  the  Author  from  Europe, 
&  the  Abode  of  the  Work  in  America  till  it  may  be  sent  over  with  some 
hopeful  Encouragement,  and  the  uncertainty  of  what  may  be  the  precise 
Number  of  Sheets  which  will  be  needful  on  the  Occasion,  will  oblige  to 
something  a  little  Unusual  in  the  way  of  Proceeding. 

Understanding  that  the  Work  will  make  Two  Volumns  in  FOLIO,  it  is 
proposed,  That  it  shall  be  afforded  unto  Subscribers,  at  the  same  Rate,  that 
such  Books,  of  the  same  Quantity,  and  in  the  same  Character,  have  usually 
been  afforded  at :  Which  is  a  Rate  so  generally  Agreed  (and  very  seldom  or 
little  Varied,}  that  the  venture  of  a  more  Indefinite  Subscribing  for  it,  need 
not  be  much  scrupled  at. 


xii  INTRODUCTION. 

It  shall  also  be  insisted  on,  with  the  Booksellers,  that  whoever  shall  pro 
cure  and  send  in  Subscriptions  for  Nine  Sets  of  this  Work,  shall  have  a 
Tenth  Gratis. 

It  is  therefore  PROPOSED,  that  the  Persons  who  are  Well-wishers  to  a 
Work  of  this  Intention  and  Usefulness,  would  send  in  their  Names,  affixed 
unto  the  following  Declaration. 

When  it  shall  please  GOD,  that  the  Work  Entituled,  BlBLIA  AMERICANA, 
whereof  the  Public  has  been  Advertised,  in  the  New  Offer  to  the  Lovers  of 
Religion  and  Learning ;  shall  be  Published,  (and  if  it  be  done  without  un 
necessary  Delays')  the  Subscriber  will  take  off  a  Sett,  (namely,  The  Two 
Volumns)  at  the  Price  assigned  by  the  Booksellers,  tcith  the  Advize  of  Three 
unexceptionable  Ministers  of  the  City  of  London,  icithin  the  general  Rate 
which  for  a  Work  so  Circumstanced  has  been  formerly  declared  Reason- 
abk.1 

This  Appeal  met  with  no  better  success  than  the  first.  A 
third  attempt  to  obtain  a  publisher  was  made  in  1728,  but 
it  likewise  was  unsuccessful ;  and  the  Manuscript,  as  it  came 
one  hundred  and  fifty  years  ago  from  the  hands  of  the  lite 
rary  Giant  of  New  England,  now  sleeps  forgotten  and 
almost  unknown,  amid  the  Collections  of  the  Massachusetts 
Historical  Society,  a  reproof  to  the  wealth  and  a  reproach  to 
the  enterprise  of  the  present  generation. 

Nearly  half  a  century  passed  without  a  line  of  Scrip 
ture  having  been  printed  in  this  country,  except,  perhaps, 
in  Psalters  or  Prayer  Books.  At  length,  what  others  with 
greater  pretensions  failed  to  accomplish,  was  effected  by  an 
humble,  painstaking  Immigrant,  to  whom  the  honor  belongs 
of  having  given  to  America  the  first  edition  of  the  Bible  in 
a  European  language. 

CHRISTOPHER  SAUR  was  born  in  Germany  in  1693 ;  immi 
grated  to  this  country  in  1724,  and  settled  permanently  in 
Germantown,  Pa.,  in  1731.  Being  of  a  religious  tempera 
ment  and  of  a  reflecting  turn  of  mind,  his  attention  was  di-

rected  to  the  destitute  condition  of  his  countrymen  in  respect 
to  books,  especially  the  Scriptures.  He  procured  a  printing 
press  and  types,  and  commenced  the  business  of  a  publisher 
in  1738.  In  1740  he  began  printing  an  edition  of  the  Bible 
in  German,  and  in  1743  completed  the  volume,  which  will 
be  found  fully  described  under  that  year.  Mr.  Saur  died  in 
1758,  before  another  edition  of  the  Bible  was  called  for. 
His  son  reprinted  an  edition  of  the  work  in  1763  consist 
ing  of  two  thousand  copies,  and  another  of  three  thousand 
copies  in  1776;1  but  most  of  the  latter  were  seized  in  the 
war  of  the  Revolution  and  used  as  cartridge  paper  or  as 
litter  for  horses.  Mr.  Saur's  daughter  succeeded,  however, 
in  rescuing  the  sheets  of  ten  complete  copies  which  she 
caused  to  be  bound.2 

Meanwhile,  KNEELAND  &  GREEN  of  Boston  (it  is  alleged), 
printed  principally  for  Daniel  Henchman,  an  edition  of  the 
Bible  in  the  English  language,  in  small  quarto.  It  was  car 
ried  through  the  press  as  privately  as  possible,  and  had  the 
London  imprint  of  the  copy  from  which  it  was  reprinted, 
viz :  "  London :  Printed  by  Mark  Baskett,  Printer  to  the 
King's  Most  Excellent  Majesty,"  in  order  to  prevent  a  pro 
secution  from  those,  in  England  and  Scotland,  who  published 
the  Bible  by  a  patent  from  the  Crown;  or  Cum  privilegio, 
as  did  the  English  Universities  at  Oxford  and  Cambridge. 
"When  I  was  an  apprentice  (continues  Mr.  Thomas),  I  often 
heard  those  who  had  assisted  at  the  case  and  press  in  print 
ing  this  Bible,  make  mention  of  the  fact.  The  late  Gov. 
Hancock  was  related  to  Henchman,  and  knew  the  parti 
culars  of  the  transaction.  He  possessed  a  copy  of  this  im 
pression.  As  it  had  a  London  imprint,  at  this  day  it  can  be

2  The  Rev  Dr.  Holmes  says  in  his  American  Annals,  II,  486  (note),  that 
Saur's  edition  of  1776  "  was  the  first  quarto  Bible,  that  ever  issued  from 
an  American  press."     He  apparently  was  ignorant  of  the  editions  of  1743 
and  1763,  and  had  forgotten  Eliot's  Indian  Bibles.

distinguished  from  an  English  edition  of  the  same  date,  only 
by  those  who  are  acquainted  with  the  niceties  of  typography. 
This  Bible  issued  from  the  press  about  the  time  that  the 
partnership  of  Kneeland  &  Green  expired.1  The  edition  was 
not  large ;  I  have  been  informed  that  it  did  not  exceed  seven 
or  eight  hundred  copies. 

"  Not  long  after  the  time  that  this  impression  of  the  Bible 
came  from  the  press,  an  edition  of  the  New  Testament,  in 
duodecimo,  was  printed  by  Rogers  and  Fowle,  for  those  at 
whose  expense  the  Bible  issued.  Both  the  Bible  and  the 
Testament  were  well  executed  ....  The  credit  of  this  edition 
of  the  Testament  was,  for  the  reason  I  have  mentioned, 
transferred  to  the  King's  printer,  in  London,  by  the  insertion 
of  his  imprint."2  And,  farther  on,  Mr.  Thomas  adds : 

"  During  the  partnership  of  Rogers  and  Fowle  they  printed 
an  edition  of  about  two  thousand  copies  of  the  New  Testa 
ment,  12mo.,  for  D.  Henchman,  and  two  or  three  other 
principal  booksellers,  as  has  been  already  observed. 

"  This  impression  of  the  Testament,  the  first  in  the  English 
language  printed  in  this  country,  was,  as  I  have  been  informed, 
completed  at  the  press  before  Kneeland  and  Green  began  the 
edition  of  the  Bible  which  has  been  mentioned. 

"  Zechariah  Fowle,  with  whom  I  served  my  apprenticeship, 
as  well  as  several  others,  repeatedly  mentioned  to  me  this 
edition  of  the  Testament.  He  was  at  the  time,  a  journeyman 
with  Rogers  and  Fowle,  and  worked  at  the  press.  He  in 
formed  me,  that  on  account  of  the  weakness  of  his  constitu 
tion,  he  greatly  injured  his  health  by  the  performance. 
Privacy  in  the  business  was  necessary ;  and  as  few  hands 
were  intrusted  with  the  secret,  the  press  work  was,  as  he 
thought,  very  laborious.  I  mention  these  minute  circum 
stances  in  proof  that  an  edition  of  the  Testament  did  issue

from  the  office  of  Rogers  and  Fowle,  because  I  have  heard 
that  the  fact  has  been  disputed."1 

"We  have  here  given  at  length,  in  justice  to  Mr.  Thomas, 
all  he  has  stated  on  the  subject  of  these  editions,  the  print 
ing  of  which  has  been  not  only  disputed  anew,  but  denied  by 
Mr.  Bancroft,  who  asserts  that  the  Bible  "  was  never  printed 
here  in  English  until  the  land  became  free,"  and  then  adds 
in  a  note : 

Thomas  .  .  .  repeats  only  what  he  heard.  Himself  a  collector,  he  does  not 
profess  ever  to  have  seen  a  copy  of  the  alleged  American  edition  of  the 
English  Bible.  Search  has  repeatedly  been  made  for  a  copy,  and  always 
without  success.  Six  or  eight  hundred  Bibles  in  quarto  could  hardly  have 
been  printed,  bound  and  sold  in  Boston,  then  a  small  town,  undiscovered.. 
Nor  would  they  all  have  disappeared.  The  most  complete  catalogues  of 
English  Bibles  enumerate  no  one  with  the  imprint,  which  was  said  to  have- 
been  copied.  Till  a  copy  of  the  pretended  American  edition  is  produced,, 
no  credit  can  be  given  to  the  second-hand  story,  which  is  moreover  at  vari 
ance  with  the  statement  of  Dr.  Chauncey,  the  minister  of  the  first  Church 
of  Boston,  at  the  time  of  the  pretended  publication.* 

The  reader  has  here  before  him  what  has  been  said,  on 
both  sides,  regarding  the  alleged  Kneeland  &  Green  (or  Mark 
Baskett)  Bible  of  1752.  Bibles  near  that  year  have  been 
found  with  the  following  imprints : 

London :  Printed  by  Thomas  Baskett,  Printer  to  the  King's  Most  Ex 
cellent  Majesty,  and  by  the  Assigns  of  Robert  Barker.     1751.     Folio.

xxi,  post,  will  be  found  a  letter  from  Dr.  Chauncey  on  the  lack  of  facilities 
for  printing  an  edition  of  the  Bible  in  Boston  in  1782,  but  as  Mr.  Bancroft 
has  omitted  to  indicate  the  source  whence  he  derived  the  statement  he  attri 
butes  to  that  clergyman,  we  are  unable  to  say  whether  the  letter  now  pub 
lished  be  that  source.

London  :  Printed  by  Mark  Baskett,  Printer  to  the  King's  Most  Excellent 
Majesty,  and  by  the  Assigns  of  Robert  Barker.     1761.     4to. 
The  Same.     1763.     4to. 

But  as  yet  all  efforts  to  discover  a  copy  corresponding  with 
that  mentioned  by  Mr.  Thomas,  have,  as  far  as  we  are  aware, 
been  unsuccessful :  the  titles  of  both  Bible  and  Testament 
are,  therefore,  omitted  in  the  present  List. 

Before  taking  leave  of  the  subject  it  may  not,  perhaps,  be 
out  of  place  to  notice  a  discrepancy  in  Mr.  Thomas's  account, 
in  regard  to  the  time  that  the  New  Testament  was  printed ; 
that  event  having  occurred,  according  to  his  statement  in 
one  place,  "  Not  long  after  the  time  that  the  impression  of 
the  Bible  came  from  the  press,"  whilst  in  another  place  he 
says,  "  This  impression  of  the  Testament ....  was,  as  I  have 
been  informed,  completed  at  the  press  before  Kneeland  and 
Green  began  the  edition  of  the  Bible  which  has  been  men 
tioned."1 

-Whilst  engaged  in  examining  the  several  points  connected 
with  this  matter,  we  were  curious  to  know  whether  the 
Patent  to  Baskett  did  actually  extend  to,  and  include  the 
Colonies.  We  accordingly  endeavored  to  procure  a  copy  of 
that  to  John  Baskett  under  which  we  supposed  that  Mark 
Baskett  held.  The  subjoined  letters  will  show  the  result.

In  the  remaining  period  of  Colonial  dependency,  we  meet 
with  only  one  instance  of  an  attempt  towards  printing  a  Bible 
in  English  in  this  country.  That  attempt  was  made  by  JOHN 
FLEMING,  a  Scotch  printer  of  Boston,  who  issued  a  Prospectus- 
in  1770,  of  which  the  following  is  a  copy :

I.  The  Text  of  this  Bible  will  be 
printed    on   a    very  fine  new  TYPE, 
which,  by  good  Judges,  has  been  pro 
nounced  preferable,  both  as  to  SIZE 
and  ELEGANCE,  to  that  on  which  Mr. 
Baskervill's  celebrated  Bible  is  print 
ed.      (Baskervill's  Bible  without  An 
notations   cost   the   Subscribers  four 
Guineas.}    The  Notes  will  be  printed 
on  a  Type  somewhat  smaller  than  the 
Text,    though    considerably    larger 
than  the  NOTES  to  any  BIBLE  ever 
yet  Published.    Of  both  these  Types 
the  annexed  two  Pages  are  Speci

[Here  follows  a  letter  from  "  The  late  Revd.  and  Pious  Mr.  Whitefield 
recommendatory  of  Dr.  Clark's  edition  of  the  Bible.]1 

This  project  however,  failed  through  want  of  encourage 
ment  ;  at  so  low  an  ebb,  says  Dr.  Miller,  was  the  book  trade 
in  our  country  ;2  for  books  printed  in  London,  however  exe 
cuted,  sold  better  than  those  which  were  printed  in  Ame 
rica.3 

The  breaking  out  of  the  Revolution  having,  soon  after,  cut 
off  the  supply  of  "  books  printed  in  London,"  the  scarcity  of 
Bibles  also  came  soon  to  be  felt.  Dr.  PATRICK  ALLISON,  one 
of  the  Chaplains  of  Congress,  and  other  gentlemen  brought 
the  subject  before  that  body  in  a  Memorial  in  which  they 
urged  the  Printing  of  an  edition  of  the  Scriptures. 

On  the  llth  September,  1777,  the  Committee  to  whom 
that  Memorial  was  referred,  reported ;

xx  INTRODUCTION. 

The  Committee  to  whom  the  Memorial  of  Doctor  Allison  and  others  was 
referred,  report,  "  that  they  have  conferred  fully  with  the  printers,  &c.,  in 
this  city,  and  are  of  opinion  that  the  proper  types  for  printing  the  bible  are 
not  to  be  had  in  this  country,  and  that  the  paper  cannot  be  procured,  but 
with  such  difficulties  and  subject  to  such  casualities  as  to  render  any  depend- 
ance  on  it  altogether  improper :  that  to  import  types  for  the  purpose  of  setting 
up  an  entire  edition  of  the  bible,  and  to  strike  of  30,000  copies,  with  paper, 
binding,  &c.,  will  cost  10.272?.  10s.  Qd.:  which  must  be  advanced  by  Congress 
to  be  reimbursed  by  the  sale  of  the  books  :  that  in  the  opinion  of  the 
Committee  considerable  difficulties  will  attend  the  procuring  the  types  and 
paper,  that  afterwards  the  risque  of  importing  them  will  considerably  enhance 
the  cost,  and  that  the  calculations  are  subject  to  such  uncertainty  in  the 
present  state  of  affairs,  that  Congress  cannot  much  rely  on  them  :  that  the 
use  of  the  bible  is  so  universal,  and  its  importance  so  great,  that  your  Com 
mittee  refer  the  above  to  the  consideration  of  Congress,  and  if  Congress  shall 
not  think  it  expedient  to  order  the  importation  of  types  and  paper,  the  Com 
mittee  recommend  that  Congress  will  order  the  Committee  of  Congress  to 
import  20,000  bibles  from  Holland,  Scotland,  or  elsewhere,  into  the  different 
ports  of  the  States  of  the  Union." 

Whereupon  it  was  resolved  accordingly  to  direct  said  Committee  to  import 
20,000  copies  of  the  bible. 

On  this  motion,  New  Hampshire,  Massachusetts,  Rhode  Island.  Connecti 
cut,  New  Jersey,  Pennsylvania  and  Georgia,  voted  in  the  affirmative ;  New 
York,  Delaware,  Maryland,  Virginia,  North  Carolina,  South  Carolina  in  the 
negative.1 

The  demand  could  not  fail  to  stimulate  American  Pub 
lishers  to  increased  exertion.  Accordingly,  ROBERT  AITKEN,  a 
native  of  Scotland,  who,  a  few  years  previous,  had  become  a 
printer  in  Philadelphia,  issued  in  1777  an  edition  of  the  New 
Testament,  the  first  printed  in  English  in  this  country,  with 
an  American  imprint.  Other  editions  followed  in  each  of 
the  years  immediately  succeeding,  and  on  the  21st  January, 
1781,  Mr.  Aitken  announced,  in  a  petition  to  Congress,  that 
he  had  undertaken  to  print  an  edition  of  the  Bible  entire. 

In  the  following  year,  the  Rev.  Dr.  LYMAN,  of  Hatfield, 
Mass.,  addressed  a  letter  to  the  Association  of  Congregational 


1  Journal  of  Congress  for  1777-78,  p.  387. 


INTRODUCTION.  xxi 

Ministers  in  Boston,  urging  the  necessity  of  publishing  an 
edition  of  the  Holy  Scriptures.  This  Association  did  not  feel 
warranted  to  move  in  the  matter,  as  appears  by  the  following 
answer : 

BOSTON,  April  2,  1782. 

REV.  SIR  : 

I  have  communicated  your  letter  to  the  Associated  Ministers  in  this  town, 
and  they  are  unanimously  of  the  opinion  that  the  measure  your  Association 
have  proposed  for  an  impression  of  the  Bible,  will  not  answer,  and  for  these 
reasons :  All  the  printers  in  town  put  together  have  not  types  sufficient  for 
such  an  impression ;  and  if  they  had,  proper  paper,  in  quantity,  is  not  to  be 
procured  but  by  sending  for  it  to  Europe.  Besides,  if  there  was  a  sufficiency 
both  of  type  and  paper,  the  Bibles  could  not  possibly  be  sold  so  cheap  as 
those  that  are  imported  from  abroad.  Moreover,  an  impression  could  not  be 
completed  within  two  years,  as  it  must  be  a  very  large  one,  and  would  not 
be  for  the  advantage  either  of  the  printers  or  buyers  of  the  books,  if  the 
number  was  less  than  twenty  or  thirty  thousand.  Furthermore,  there  is  not 
the  least  reasonable  prospect  the  General  Court  would  be  at  the  expense  of 
such  an  impression  of  the  Bible,  as  they  are  so  greatly  in  debt. 

I  would  yet  add,  I  have  spoken  with  some  of  our  printers  and  book 
sellers,  who  concur  with  the  Ministers  in  town  in  their  opinions  upon  your 
proposed  measure ;  and  say  further,  that  Bibles  are  now  imported  from  Hol 
land,  and  more  may  daily  be  expected. 

I  should  have  written  before  now,  but  that  I  knew  of  no  opportunity  of 
sending  to  you,   and  I  know  of  none  at  present,  but  think  it  proper  to  have 
a  letter  in  readiness  to  be  sent,  whenever  I  can  hear  of  a  way  to  send  it. 
I  am  in  the  name  of  our  Association  here, 

Your  humble  Servant, 

Rev.  WM.  JOSEPH  LYMAN.  CHARLES  CHAUNCEY.1 

Meanwhile  Mr.  Aitken's  petition  to  Congress  was  referred 
to  a  Committee  consisting  of  Messrs.  Duane,  McKean  and 
Witherspoon,  who  reported  on  the  21st  September,  1782, 

That  Mr.  Aitken  has  at  a  great  expense  now  finished  an  American  edi 
tion  of  the  Holy  Scriptures  in  English ;  that  the  Committee  have,  from  time 
to  time,  attended  to  his  progress  in  the  Work ;  that  they  also  recommended  it 
to  the  Two  Chaplains  of  Congress  to  examine  and  give  their  opinion  of  the

execution,  who  have  accordingly  reported  thereon,  the  recommendation  and 
report  being  as  follows  : 

PHILADELPHIA,  September  1st,  1782. 
REVEREND  GENTLEMEN  : 

Our  knowledge  of  your  piety  and  public  spirit  leads  us  without  apology 
to  recommend  to  your  particular  attention  the  edition  of  the  Holy  Scriptures 
publishing  by  Mr.  Aitken.  He  undertook  this  expensive  work  at  a  time 
when  from  the  circumstances  of  the  War,  an  English  edition  of  the  Bible 
could  not  be  imported,  nor  any  opinion  formed  how  long  the  obstruction  might 
continue.  On  this  account  particularly  he  deserves  applause  and  encourage 
ment.  We  therefore  wish  you,  reverend  gentlemen,  to  examine  the  execu 
tion  of  the  work,  and  if  approved  to  give  it  the  sanction  of  your  judgment 
and  the  weight  of  your  recommendation. 

We  are,  with  very  great  respect,  your  most  obedient  humble  servants, 
(Signed.)  JAMES  DUANE,  Chairman, 

in  behalf  of  a  Committee  of  Congress, 

on  Mr.  Aitken's  Memorial. 
Reverend  Doctor  WHITE  and  Reverend  Mr.  DUFFIELD, 

Chaplains  of  the  United  States  in  Congress  Assembled. 

Report. 
GENTLEMEN  : 

Agreeably  to  your  desire,  we  have  paid  attention  to  Mr.  Robert  Aitken's 
impression  of  the  Holy  Scriptures,  of  the  old  and  new  testament.  Having 
selected  and  examined  a  variety  of  passages  throughout  the  work,  we  are  of 
opinion  that  it  is  executed  with  great  accuracy  as  to  the  sense,  and  with  as 
few  gramatical  and  typographical  errors  as  could  be  expected  in  an  under 
taking  of  such  magnitude.  Being  ourselves  witnesses  of  the  demand  for 
this  invaluable  book,  we  rejoice  in  the  present  prospect  of  a  supply,  hoping 
that  it  will  prove  as  advantageous  as  it  is  honorable  to  the  gentleman,  who 
has  exerted  himself  to  furnish  it  at  the  evident  risk  of  his  private  fortune. 
We  are,  gentlemen,  your  very  respectful  and  humble  servants, 

(Signed.)  WILLIAM  WHITE, 

GEORGE  DUFFIELD. 
Honorable  JAMES  DUANE,  Esquire,  Chairman, 

and  the  other  honorable  gentlemen  of  the  Committee  of 

Congress  on  Mr.  Aitken's  Memorial. 
Philadelphia,  September  10,  1782. 

Whereupon, 

Resolved,  That  the  United  States  in  Congress  assembled,  highly  approve 
the  pious  and  laudable  undertaking  of  Mr.  Aitken,  as  subservient  to  the 


INTRODUCTION.  xxm 

interest  of  religion  as  well  as  an  instance  of  the  progress  of  arts  in  this 
country,  and  being  satisfied  from  the  above  report,  of  his  care  and  accuracy 
in  the  execution  of  the  work,  they  recommend  this  edition  of  the  bible  to 
the  inhabitants  of  the  United  States,  and  hereby  authorize  him  to  publish 
this  recommendation  in  the  manner  he  shall  think  proper.1 

This  was  the  first  Bible  printed  in  this  country  in  the 
English  language  having  an  American  imprint.  It  was  a 
small  duodecimo,  in  two  volumes,  on  a  brevier  type.  The 
report  of  the  Committee  and  of  the  resolution  of  Congress 
(sometimes  called,  in  consequence,  The  Bible  Congress2)  are 
reprinted  on  a  leaf  immediately  following  the  title  page. 
The  recommendation,  however,  bore  no  fruit.  Immediately 
after  the  publication  of  the  work,  peace  was  proclaimed, 
when  it  was  found  that  Bibles  could  be  imported  from  Great 
Britain  cheaper  than  it  was  possible  to  print  them  here.  Mr. 
Aitken,  therefore,  not  obtaining  a  ready  sale  for  his  edition, 
which  had  been  carried  on  with  great  difficulty,  was  nearly 
ruined  by  the  undertaking.3  It  was  in  view  of  this  event 
that  the  Philadelphia  Synod,  on  the  24th  May,  1783, 

Resolved,  As  Mr.  Aitken,  from  laudable  motives,  and  with  great  expense,, 
hath  undertaken  and  executed  an  elegant  impression  of  the  Holy  Scriptures,, 
which  on  account  of  the  importation  of  Bibles  from  Europe,  will  be  very 
injurious  to  his  temporal  circumstances,  the  Synod  agree  that  the  Com 
mittee  to  purchase  Bibles  for  distribution  among  the  Poor,  purchase  Aitken's 
Bibles  and  no  other,  and  earnestly  recommend  it  to  all  to  purchase  such  in 
preference  to  any  other.4 

The  habit  of  depending  either  directly  or  indirectly  on 
Government  or  Government  Agents,  for  a  supply  of  the 
Scriptures,  had  hitherto  served  only  to  cripple  the  American

press.  The  Germans,  as  we  have  seen,  unaided  by  any  such 
patronage  or  recommendations,  had  already  published  several 
editions  of  the  Bible ;  William  Woodhouse  of  Philadelphia, 
equally  unaided,  got  out,  in  1790,  the  Christian's  Complete 
Family  Bible ;  and  in  the  same  year  the  Catholics,  succeeded 
in  putting  forth  a  Quarto  edition  of  the  Doway  Bible. 

MATHEW  CAREY,  a  native  of  Ireland,  who,  from  political 
causes,  was  led  to  immigrate  to  this  country,  and  who  at  this 
time  was,  we  presume,  the  only  Catholic  in  the  Union  ex 
tensively  engaged  in  publishing,  issued  Proposals  on  the  26th 
January,  1789,  for  printing  The  Doway  Bible  by  subscription, 
on  the  following 

CONDITIONS  : 

1.  This  Edition  will  follow  verbatim  the  Translation  executed  at  Doway. 

2.  It  will  be  printed  in  large  Quarto,  on  the  same  kind  of  Type,  as  fine 
Paper,  and  with  the  same  number  of  Pages  as  in  the  Oxford  Edition  of  the 
Bible. 

3.  The  price  to  Subscribers  will  be  Six  Spanish  Milled  Dollars ;  one  half 
to  be  paid  at  the  time  of  Subscribing ;   the  other  on  delivery  of  the  Book 
neatly  bound. 

4.  As  soon  as  400  copies  are  Subscribed  for,  it  will  be  put  to  press  and 
completed  without  delay. 

5.  The  Subscribers'  names  will  be  prefixed  as  Patrons  of  the  Work. 
Subscriptions  received  by  the  Rt.  Rev.  Dr.  John  Carroll,  &c.,  &c. 

These  conditions  were  modified  from  time  to  time.  As 
several  gentlemen,  unacquainted  with  the  nature  of  the  print 
ing  business,  objected  to  the  price  of  the  Volume,  which  they 
conceived  ought  to  be  only  four  dollars,  the  rate  at  which  Mr. 
Collins  proposed  to  publish  a  Church  of  England  Bible  of  the 
same  size  and  on  the  same  kind  of  paper  and  types,  Mr.  Carey 
observed,  that  Mr.  Collins  stipulated  for  3000  subscribers;  in 
dependent  of  which  number,  the  sale  of  his  work  would  ever 
continue  extensive ;  as  it  suited  every  denomination  of 
Christians  but  one,  who  alone  will  be  purchasers  of  the  Doway 
translation.  To  those  who  know  that  the  comparative  ex- 


INTRODUCTION.  xxv 

pense  of  an  edition  is  reduced  in  a  ratio  with  the  increase  of 
number,  more  need  not  be  said ;  those  who  do  not,  were  re 
ferred  to  any  candid  printer  to  determine  whether  a  Church 
of  England  Bible  with  a  vast  subscription  and  an  almost 
unlimited  sale,  may  not  be  published  as  advantageously  (to 
say  no  more)  at  four  dollars,  as  a  Roman  Catholic  edition, 
with  a  very  small  subscription,  and  a  very  confined  sale,  at 
six  dollars. 

But  to  obviate  this  objection,  if  eight  hundred  copies  were 
subscribed  for,  at  any  time  before  the  publication  of  the  volume, 
the  charge  to  subscribers  was  to  be  only  five  dollars,  and  only 
four,  if  twelve  hundred. 

The  following  Clergymen  were,  in  addition  to  the  different 
booksellers,  authorized  to  receive  subscriptions  for  the  work  : 
The  Right  Rev.  Dr.  John  Carroll  and  the  Rev.  Charles  Sewall,. 
in  Baltimore ;  the  Rev.  John  Ashton,  Whitemarsh,  and  Rev. 
Thos.  Diggs,  Mellwood,  Prince  George's  county,  Maryland;; 
Rev.  Robert  Molyneux,  Bohemia,  Cecil  county ;  Rev.  L.  Neale 

and  Rev. Doyle,  Port  Tobacco ;  Rev.  Ignatius  Matthews,. 

Rev.  Augustus  Jenkins,  and  Rev.  John  Boarman,  Newtown,, 
Charles  county ;  Rev.  Henry  Pile,  Newport  in  said  county  ; 
Rev.  James  Walton,  St.  Inigo,  St.  Mary's  county ;  Rev.  Fran 
cis  Beeston,  Rev.  Lawrence  Graessel,  and  Rev.  Thos.  Keating, 
Philadelphia;  Rev.  James  Pellentz,  York  county,  Penna.,  and 
Rev.  Mr.  O'Brien,  New  York.1 

The  Work  was  announced  in  press  in  October,  and  on 
Saturday  the  12th  of  December,  1789,  the  following  Adver 
tisement  appeared  in  the  Pennsylvania  Packet,  notifying  the 
Public  of  the  issue  of  the  first  number. 


1  The  above  particulars  are  from  various  advertisements  on  the  Covers  of 
Carey's  American  Museum  in  possession  of  John  McAllister,  Esq.,  of  Phila 
delphia,  who  most  politely  permitted  copies  and  extracts  to  be  made  and 
transmitted  to  us  through  Edward  Armstrong,  Esq.,  of  that  city,  to  whom 
we  acknowledge  our  indebtedness  for  much  valuable  assistance  and  informa

This  Day  is  Published  by  |  M.  Carey  |  In  Front  street,  a  few  doors  above 
Market  street  |  Number  I,  of  The  |  HOLY  BIBLE.  |  Translated  from  the 
Latin  Vulgat :  Diligently  compared  with  the  Hebrew,  Greek  and  other 
Editions  in  Divers  Languages ;  and  first  published  by  the  English  College  at

principal  Difficulties  of  Holy  Writ.

CONDITIONS. 

I.  This  Work,  which  will  contain  984  pages,  will  be  comprised  in  48 
numbers,  one  of  which  will  be  published  weekly  (price  one  eighth  of  a 
dollar)  until  the  whole  is  completed. 

II.  The  subscribers  are  to  be  furnished  with  the  numbers  every  Saturday 
morning  at  the  publishers  store,  and  are  to  pay  for  each  on  delivery. 

III.  The  subscribers  names  will  be  printed.     The  price  of  the  Bible  to 
non-subscribers  will  be  seven  dollars. 

*#*  As  this  mode  of  publication  renders  the  purchase  of  the  work  easy  to 
all  classes  of  people,  as  this  is  the  first  American  edition  of  the  Doway  Bible, 
and  as  Catholics  equally  with  other  religionists  ought  to  be  able  "  To 
SATISFY  EVERY  ONE  THAT  ASKETH  a  Reason  of  That  Hope  WHICH  is  IN 
THEM  "  (1  Pet.,  iii,  15.)  the  printer  flatters  himself,  that  every  Catholic 
family  not  already  possessed  of  a  Bible  will  favor  this  Work  with  their 
support. 

Those  gentlemen  to  whose  laudable  exertions  the  printer  is  indebted  for 
the  encouragement  he  has  already  been  honored  with  are  respectfully  re 
quested  once  more  to  employ  their  zeal  and  industry  to  promote  the  further 
success  of  an  attempt  which  they  have  sanctioned  with  their  approbation 
and  patronage. 

f  1 1  The  subscription  still  remains  open  on  the  original  plan,  viz  :  to  pay 
three  dollars  at  the  time  of  subscribing  and  the  same  sum  on  the  delivery  of 
the  volume.1  4ss. 

In  the  beginning  of  1790,  the  name  of  the  firm  was 
changed  to  Carey,  Stewart  &  Co.  The  issue  in  numbers  was 
abandoned  about  that  time,  after  (as  we  are  disposed  to  think)

between  80  and  90  pages  had  been  printed,  when  it  was 
determined  to  publish  the  work  in  two  volumes.1 

In  September  of  that  year  the  printers  issued  the  following 
Addresses : 

To  THE  SUBSCRIBERS  FOR  THE  DOWAY  TRANSLATION  OF  THE 
VULGATE  BIBLE. 

Ladies  and  Gentlemen : 

With  unfeigned  gratitude  we  return  you  our  sincere  thanks  for  the  encou 
ragement  you  have  honored  us  with,  in  the  prosecution  of  this  important 
undertaking.  The  Delays  though  greater  than  were  at  first  expected  have 
not  been  greater  than  the  extent  of  the  work,  and  the  tardiness  of  patronage 
at  the  first  publication  of  the  proposals  and  for  a  very  long  time  afterwards, 
rendered  inevitable.  It  at  length  draws  to  a  conclusion,  and  will  positively 
be  published  on  the  12th  day  of  November.  Names  of  Subscribers  will  be 
received  until  the  last  day  of  October  at  which  time  the  subscription  list 
will  be  closed  and  put  to  press.  These  ladies  and  gentlemen  therefore  who 
are  desirous  to  add  their  names  to  our  respectable  list  as  patrons  of  religion, 
are  requested  to  favor  us  with  them  on  or  before  that  day. 

We  hope  and  trust  that  every  Roman  Catholic  family  throughout  the 
Union,  who  can  afford  the  expense,  will  by  their  encouragement  of  this  pub 
lication,  at  once  evince  their  determination  to  shew  their  reverence  for  the 
Holy  Scriptures — and  to  prove  the  futility  of  the  charge,  that  they  are  for 
bidden  the  use  of  the  Sacred  Volume. 

To  THE  PROTESTANTS  OF  THE  UNITED  STATES. 
Ladies  and  Gentlemen : 

We  venture  with  some  degree  of  confidence  to  solicit  your  patronage  as 
well  as  that  of  the  'Roman  Catholics  for  the  first  edition  of  the  Doway  trans 
lation  of  the  Vulgate  bible. 

Many  of  the  most  learned  pro testant  divines  have  produced  weighty  objec 
tions  to  particular  passages  in  the  Common  Church  of  England  translation 
of  the  Scriptures.  That  there  are  various  important  errors  in  it,  is  too  well 
known  to  admit  of  controversy.  The  frequent  demands  for  a  new  translation, 
bear  the  strongest  testimony  to  the  truth  of  this  observation  :  it  is  therefore 
worthy  the  attention  of  every  candid  Protestant  to  consider  whether  a  com 
parison  of  the  present  translation  with  his  own  would  not  enable  him  to 


conclusion  is  arrived  at  from  the  fact  that  "Vol.  I"  does  not 
appear  on  any  of  the  signatures  preceding  page  89 ;  signature  Aa.  The 
previous  pages  would  embrace  a  little  more  than  three  numbers. 


xxviii  INTRODUCTION. 

detect  most,  if  not  all  of  them — and  thus  to  remove  from  his  mind  those 
doubts  and  difficulties  which  are  fatal  to  true  religion. 

Liberal  minded  Protestants  who  glory  in  the  influence  of  the  benign  sun 
of  toleration  will  probably  be  happy  in  an  opportunity  of  uniting  their  names 
with  those  of  the  Roman  Catholics  who  have  supported  this  work — and  thus 
evincing  that  they  are  superior  to  that  wretched,  that  contemptible  prejudice 
which  confines  its  benevolence  within  the  narrow  pale  of  one  religious  de 
nomination,  as  is  the  case  with  bigots  of  every  persuasion.  From  persons  of 
the  latter  class  we  expect  no  patronage.  To  encourage  "  a  Popish  Bible" 
would  in  their  eyes  be  a  heinous  offense.  But  we  fondly  hope,  that  there 
are  few  of  this  description  here — that  persons  of  the  former  character 
abound — and  that  our  subscription  list,  by  uniting  together  the  names  of 
members  of  various  and  hitherto  hostile  denominations  of  Christians,  will 
afford  one  proof — among  many  that  might  be  produced — of  the  rapid  advan 
ces  that  America  has  made  in  the  divine  principle  of  toleration. 
We  are  the  public's  devoted  servants,

This  Work  which  is  supposed  to  have  been  the  first  Quarto 
Bible  published  in  English  in  the  United  States,2  finally 
appeared  complete  on  the  1st  of  December,  1790,  on  type 
cast  expressly  for  it  by  Messrs.  Baine  &  Co.,3  but  John  Baine, 
the  elder  member  of  the  firm,  did  not  live  to  witness  its  final 
publication.  He  died  in  the  preceding  August.4 

Meanwhile  printers  in  other  places  were  directing  their 
attention  to  this  department  of  literature.  ISAAC  COLLINS,  a 
Member  of  the  Society  of  Friends,  originally  from  Delaware, 
but  afterwards  printer  to  the  State  of  New  Jersey  and  a 
resident  of  Trenton,  published  a  New  Testament  in  demi- 
Octavo,  as  early  as  1788.  In  1789,  appeared  the  following 

1  Pennsylvania  Packet,  3636,  Sept.  25,  1790.     E.  A. 

3  It  is  stated  in  Anderson's  Annals  of  the  English  Bible,  London,  1845, 
and  in  Rev.  Mr.  Prime's  Abridgment  of  that  Work,  New  York,  1849,  that 
Thomas'  was  the  first  Quarto  Bible  printed  in  the  United  States.  This  is 
altogether  a  mistake.

The  HOLY  BIBLE,  |  Containing  the  Old  and  New  Testaments ;  with 
the  Apocrypha  and  Marginal  Notes. 

CONDITIONS. 

I.  This  Work,  to  be  contained  in  one  large  volume,  quarto,  of  nine  hun 
dred  and  eighty-four  pages,  will  be  reprinted,  page  for  page,  with  the  Oxford 
edition,  on  a  beautiful  new  type  and  good  paper.     An  Index  and  a  Concord 
ance  will  be  added ;  and  also  the  Scripture  measures,  weights  and  coins. 

II.  The  price  to  Subscribers  for  the  Volume,  well  bound,  Four  Spanish 
Dollars ;  One  Dollar  to  be  paid  at  the  time  of  subscribing,  the  remainder  on

III.  The  Work  to  be  put  to  press  as  soon  as  three  thousand  copies  shall 
be  subscribed  for  and  to  be  finished  without  delay. 

To  all  whom  it  may  concern : 

Mr.  Isaac  Collins  has,  for  many  years  -last  past,  been  and  still  is,  Printer 
to  the  State  of  New  Jersey :  Having  by  this  means  had  the  more  frequent 
opportunities  to  see  his  Work,  I  have  had  abundant  proof  of  the  accuracy  and 
correctness  of  his  publications,  as  well  as  of  his  remarkable  attention  to 
business.  WIL.  LIVINGSTON.

ber  proposed,  and  the  encouragement  contained  in  the  following  extracts,  the 
Editor  has  ventured  to  begin  the  Work,  under  a  hope  that  many  more 
citizens  of  America  will  patronize  it,  especially  when  they  are  informed 
Downame's  Concordance,  which  is  annexed  to  Eyre  and  Strahan's  London 
quarto  edition  of  1772,  will  be  added,  without  further  expense  to  the  Sub 
scribers  ; — and  he  has  determined  to  risk  such  a  number  of  copies  as  he 
apprehends  will  be  sufficient  to  cover  all  the  subscriptions  that  may  be 
obtained. 

Finding  a  variety  of  sentiments  respecting  the  Apocrypha  and  Notes  on 
the  Text,  the  Editor  informs  the  public,  that  he  is  desirous  to  comply  with 
the  wishes  of  every  Subscriber,  as  well  as  with  the  directions  of  the  Com 
mittees  of  different  denominations  on  this  head  ,  Subscribers,  therefore,  upon 
timely  notice,  shall  be  supplied  with  books  containing  their  Apocrypha,  or 
Ostervald's  Notes,  or  both,  or  neither — as  they  choose.  In  this  situation  the 
Editor  is  under  the  absolute  necessity  of  throwing  Ostervald's  Notes  at  the 
end  of  the  book,  subject  to  such  additional  expense  as  shall  be  agreed  upon 
by  the  Committee  hereafter  mentioned. 


xxx  INTRODUCTION. 

Meeting  for  Sufferings,  Philad.,  19th  Third  Month,  1789. 
Proposals  for  printing,  by  subscription,  an  approved  correct  edition  of  the 
Old  and  New  Testaments,  with  the  Apocrypha  and  Marginal  Notes  in  a  neat 
Quarto  Volume,  being  now  submitted  to  the,  consideration  of  this  meeting  by 
the  Printer  Isaac  Collins  of  Trenton :  This  undertaking  being  a  matter  of 
very  interesting  concernment,  and  such  an  edition  as  therein  proposed  appear 
ing  likely  to  be  useful  and  much  wanted  ;  on  a  deliberate  and  weighty  atten 
tion  to  these  considerations,  it  is  the  united  sense  of  the  meeting,  that  it  be 
recommended  to  the  Quarterly  and  Monthly  Meetings  of  Friends  to  encourage 
the  Work,  by  appointing  Committees  to  procure  Subscriptions  agreeably  to  the 
tenor  of  said  proposals,  and  forwarding  to  this  meeting  lists  of  the  Subscrip 
tions  obtained  as  early  as  may  be,  in  order  that  a  suitable  appointment  may 
be  made  for  the  assistance  of  the  printer  in  attending  to  the  correctness  of  the 
Work.  The  Clerk  is  directed  to  furnish  the  Printer  with  a  copy  of  this 
minute,  to  be  printed  and  distributed  with  the  proposals. 
Extract  from  the  Minutes, 

JOHN  DRINKER,  Clerk. 

Extract  from  the  Minutes  of  the  General  Assembly  of  the  Presbyterian 
Church  in  the  United  States  of  America,  Philad.,  May  25,  1789. 

The  General  Assembly  considering  the  importance  of  preserving  faithful 
and  correct  impressions  of  the  Holy  Scriptures ;  and  as  Mr.  Collins,  Printer 
to  the  State  of  New  Jersey,  proposes  to  make  an  impression  of  the  Old  and 
New  Testaments,  and  wishes  the  countenance  and  support  of  all  denominations 
of  Christians, 

On  motion,  Resolved,  That  the  General  Assembly  of  the  Presbyterian 
Church  in  the  United  States  of  America,  in  order  to  give  effectual  encourage 
ment  to  this  undertaking,  do  hereby  appoint  the  Rev.  Mr.  Joshua  Hart,  Mr. 
Judd,  Dr.  Alexander  Me  Whorter,  Mr.  James  F.  Armstrong,  Dr.  George 
Duffield,1  Mr.  Thomas  Reid,  Dr.  Mattheio  Wilson,  Dr.  Patrick  Allison,  Mr. 
Robert  Cooper,  Mr.  James  Finley,  Mr.  Moses  Hoge,  Mr.  John  Blair  Smith, 
Mr.  James  McKee,  Mr.  Hezekiah  Balch,  Mr.  Thomas  McCaulle  and  Mr. 
David  Rice,  to  lay  Mr.  Collins' s  proposals  before  their  respective  Presbyteries; 
and  to  recommend  to  them,  by  order  of  the  General  Assembly,  that  a  person 
or  persons  be  appointed  in  every  congregation,  vacant  or  supplied,  to  procure 
subscriptions ;  and  that  the  Presbyteries  transmit  by  their  Commissioners  to 
the  next  General  Assembly  the  number  of  Subscribers. 


1  This  clergyman  died  in  Philadelphia,  on  2d  February,  1790.  He  was 
Minister  of  the  3d  Presbyterian  Church  in  that  city.  He  did  not  live  to 
witness  the  publication  of  this  work. 


INTRODUCTION.  xxxi 

The  General  Assembly  also  confirm  the  appointment  made  by  the  Synod  of 
New  York  and  New  Jersey,  that  Dr.  John  Witherspoon,  Dr.  Samuel  S. 
Smith,  and  Mr.  James  F.  Armstrong  be  a  Committee  to  confer  with  any  such 
Committee  as  may  be  appointed,  whether  from  any  other  denomination,  or 
from  any  other  Synod  of  our  denomination,  to  revise  and  correct  the  proof- 
sheets,  and,  if  necessary,  to  fix  upon  the  most  correct  edition  of  the  Scriptures 
to  be  recommended  to  the  printer  from  which  to  make  his  impression,  and  that 
the  said  Committee  be  ordered  to  agree  with  the  printer,  that  Ostervald's  Notes, 
if  not  inconsistent  with  the  views  of  other  denominations  of  Christians  engaged 
in  this  undertaking,  be  printed  with  it,  in  such  a  manner  as  may  best  promote 
the  publication. 

The  General  Assembly,  desirous  to  spread  the  knowledge  of  eternal  life 
contained  in  the  Holy  Scriptures,  earnestly  recommend  to  all  the  congregations 
under  their  care  to  encourage  this  undertaking. 

JAMES  F.  ARMSTRONG,  Clerk 

of  the  General  Assembly. 

Extract  from  the  Journal  of  the  Convention  of  the  Protestant  Episcopal, 
Church,  held  in  Philadelphia,  August  8,  1789. 

Proposals  for  an  edition  of  the  Holy  Bible,  by  Mr.  Isaac  Collins,  of  Tren 
ton,  were  laid  before  this  Convention,  and  satisfactory  information  was  given, 
them  as  to  the  proposer' s  abilities  for  the  execution  of  the  work  :  Whereupon^ 

Resolved  on  motion  of  Mr.  Jones,  That  the  members  of  this  Convention 
will  assist  Mr.  Collins  in  the  procuring  of  subscriptions. 

Extract  from  the  Minutes  of  the  Baptist  Association,  held  at  Philadelphia^ 
October  6,  1789. 

This  Association,  taking  under  consideration  the  proposals  of  Mr.  Isaac 
Collins,  of  Trenton,  in  New  Jersey,  to  print  an  edition  of  the  Holy  Bible  in, 
quarto  after  the  Oxford  edition  ;  and  his  request  to  this  Association  to  patron 
ize  the  work — Being  desirous  to  encourage  so  laudable  a  design,  do  appoint 
our  brethren  the  Rev.  Oliver  Hart,  Dr.  Samuel  Jones,  Rev.  Benjamin  foster 
and  Rev.  Burgiss  Allison,  to  concur  with  any  Committee  appointed  by  any- 
other  denomination  to  revise  and  correct  the  proof-sheets,  and,  if  necessary,  to> 
fix  upon  the  most  correct  edition  of  the  Scriptures  to  be  recommended  to  the 
Printer,  from  which  to  make  his  impression.  And  that  the  same  Committee 
be  ordered  to  use  their  influence  to  prevent  the  Apocrypha,  or  any  Notes  of  any 
kind,  being  printed  and  included  in  said  edition,  as  having  a  dangerous  ten 
dency  to  corrupt  the  simplicity  and  truth  of  the  sacred  Scriptures,  by  being 
thus  intimately  associated  with  them  ;  and,  particularly,  as  being  incompatible 


xxxii  INTRODUCTION. 

with  the  union  of  people  of  different  religious  sentiments  in  promoting  the  u-orJc. 
And,  moreover,  the  Association  recommend  to  all  the  churches  and  congrega 
tions  in  their  bounds  to  encourage  the  undertaking. 

WILLIAM  VAN  HORNE,  Clerk. 

The  consideration,  that  no  part  of  the  money  will  be  sent  out  of  the 
country,  it  is  hoped  will  be  an  additional  inducement  to  subscribe,  and  of 
course  promote  the  more  frequent  reading  of  this  most  valuable  book  in 
private  families.  The  Editor  therefore  wishes  to  attract  the  attention,  and 
obtain  the  countenance  of  people  of  ALL  denominations  in  this  arduous 
undertaking;  not  doubting  but  that,  in  the  execution  of  the  work,  he  will 
be  able  to  give  satisfaction,  both  as  to  its  accuracy  and  neatness. 

The  CONCORDANCE  will  be  much  more  correct  than  the  London  Copy,  the 
Editor  having  taken  the  pains  to  examine  most  of  the  references. 

*5)c*  A  specimen  of  the  type  and  paper  may  be  seen  by  applying  to  Joseph 
Cruikshank,  Printer  and  Bookseller,  in  Market-street,  Philadelphia. 

Trenton,  Twelfth  Month,  (Dec.)  19,  1789.1 

At  the  meeting  of  the  General  Assembly,  22d  May,  1790, 
the  subject  of  aiding  Mr.  Collins's  project  was  resumed,  and 
every  person  of  the  Assembly  was  recommended  to  promote 
and  encourage  the  business  of  subscription  in  the  Presbytery 
to  which  he  belonged;  and  on  24th  May,  1791,  Presbyteries 
and  members  were  requested  to  return  all  subscriptions,  "  as 
the  impression  is  nearly  finished."2 

Collins's  Bible,  which  the  Rev.  Dr.  Miller  incorrectly  calls 
the  first  Quarto  edition  printed  in  the  United  States,3  was 
published  at  Trenton  soon  after  the  passage  of  the  above  last 
mentioned  resolution.  In  1793,  Mr.  Collins  issued  at  the 
same  place  an  Octavo  Bible,  which  Mr.  Thomas  pronounces 
to  have  been  "  a  handsome  and  very  correct  edition,"  though 
he  erroneously  calls  it  the  first  printed  at  Trenton,4  and  seems 
to  have  forgotten  the  edition  in  Quarto.

INTKODUCTION.  xxxui 

MASSACHUSETTS  was  the  next  to  commence  arrangements 
for  the  publication  of  an  edition  of  the  Bible,  and  ISAIAH 
THOMAS  of  Worcester  in  that  State,  announced  one  in  Folio 
(being,  as  far  as  we  are  aware,  the  first  in  that  form  in  this 
country)  and  another  in  Royal  Quarto.  The  following  is  a 
copy  of  the  Prospectus  of  the  latter  edition : 

LARGE  FAMILY  BIBLE.  | 

SEAKCH  the  SCRIPTURES,  for  therein  are  contained  the  Words  |  of 
Eternal  Life  ! — They  have  GOD  for  their  Author ! — Sal-  |  vation  for  their 
End  ! — And  Truth,  unmixed  with  Error,  for  |  their  Matter !  | 

Proposal  of  Isaiah  Thomas,  \  of  Worcester,  Massachusetts,  |  For  PRINT 
ING  and  PUBLISHING  by  SUBSCRIPTION,  |  An  American  Edition,  in  Large 
Royal  QUARTO,  |  (  Ornamented  with  an  Elegant  COPPERPLATE  FRONT 
ISPIECE)  |  of  the  |  HOLY  BIBLE.  |  containing  the  |  Old  and  New  TESTA 
MENTS,  |  with  the  |  Apocrypha,  an  Index,  Marginal  Notes  and  References.  [ 

Contritions. 

I.  It  shall  be  printed  with  elegant  new  Types,  already  made  and  completed, 
particularly  for  the  purpose — types   large,   beautiful,  and   suited  for  the 
accommodation  of  the  eyes  of  all,  especially  those  of  the  aged  and  infirm- 
See  the  Specimen  annexed. 

II.  The  Paper  shall  be  fully  equal  in  goodness,  if  not  of  a  superiour 
quality,  to  the  (English)  Cambridge,  Oxford,   or  London,  Royal  Quarto- 
Edition. 

III.  The  Price  to  Subscribers,  handsomely  bound,  shall  be  only  Seven 
Dollars,  although  the  English  Editions  of  the  same  size,  and  of  an  inferiour 
quality,  are  sold  for  eight  and  nine  Dollars. 

IV.  To  make  payment  easy  to  those  who  wish  to  be  encouragers  of  this 
laudable  undertaking,  and  to  be  in  possession  of  so  valuable  property  as  a, 
Royal  Quarto  Bible,  and  who  are  not  able  to  pay  for  one  all  in  Cash — from; 
such  the  Publisher  will  receive  one  half  of  the  sum,  or  twenty  one  shillings, 
in  the  following  articles,  viz.    Wheat,  Rye,  Indian  Corn,  Butter,  or  Pork,  if 
delivered  at  his  store  in  Worcester,  or  at  the  store  of  himself  and  Company 
in  Boston,  by  the  20th  day  of  December,  1790,  the  remaining  sum  of  twenty 
one  shillings,  to  be  paid  in  Cash,  as  soon  as  the  books  are  ready  for  delivery. 
This  proposal  is  made,   to  accommodate  all,   notwithstanding  the  sum  of 
twenty  one  shillings  will  by  no  means  be  the  proportion  of  Cash  that  each 
Bible  bound,  will  cost  the  Publisher. 

V.  The  work  will  be  committed  to  the  Press  as  soon  as  a  sufficient  num- 

E 


xxxiv  INTRODUCTION. 

ber  of  Bibles  are  subscribed  for,  barely  to  defray  half  the  expense  of  the 
undertaking.  Notice  will  be  given  in  the  Newspapers,  when  the  Bible  will 
be  put  to  the  Press,  on  or  before  the  first  day  of  June  next,  and  the  time 
when  it  will  be  completed  will  then  be  mentioned. 

fi@~THE  BOOKSELLERS  in  the  United  States,  who  subscribe  for 
twelve  or  more  copies  in  sheets,  shall  have  them  on  full  as  generous  terms  as 
the  Booksellers  in  England  are  supplied  with  English  Editions. 


®o  the  fteverenb 

THE  assistance  of  the  Reverend  Clergy,  of  all  persuasions,  in  this  and  the 
neighbouring  States,  is  earnestly  requested,  to  forward  and  complete  so  large, 
important  and  expensive  an  undertaking  —  The  weight  now  rests  entirely  on 
the  publisher  of  this  proposal,  who  has  already  expended  a  very  large  sum 
for  types,  and  other  matters  preparatory  for  the  business  ;  but  he  doubts  not, 
should  he  be  speedily  favoured  by  having  a  generous  number  of  Bibles  sub 
scribed  for,  to  complete  the  work  to  the  satisfaction  of  the  Publick. 

In  order  in  some  measure  to  recompense  the  Reverend  Clergy,  and  all 
others,  whose  piety,  goodness  of  heart,  and  regard  for  the  manufactures  of 
their  country,  may  induce  them  to  help  forward  so  great  and  useful  an 
undertaking  as  the  one  now  proposed,  all  who  subscribe  for  twelve  copies,  or 
procure  twelve  copies  to  be  subscribed  for,  and  will  be  answerable,  and  make 
payment  for  them,  agreeably  to  this  proposal,  shall  be  entitled  to,  and  receive 
a  thirteenth  copy,  handsomely  bound,  for  their  trouble. 

To  CHRISTIANS  of  every  Denomination. 

AT  a  time  when  all  descriptions  of  men  are  united  to  promote  the  politi 
cal  welfare  of  our  country,  by  the  encouragement  of  Agriculture  and  all  the 
Arts  and  Sciences,  printing  the  Bible,  that  sacred  Book  which  has  a  nobler 
object  —  the  supreme  and  ultimate  happiness  of  man  —  cannot  be  thought 
unimportant,  or  uninteresting,  especially  as  it  tends  to  promote  that  Morality 
without  which  Industry,  Arts  and  Sciences  are  vain.  The  Proposal,  there 
fore,  to  publish  a  large  quarto  Bible,  must  be  pleasing  to  all,  more  especially 
to  the  Christian  citizen,  to  whom  nothing  need  be  said  as  a  stimulus  for  him 
to  promote  the  good  work  by  subscribing  for  one  or  more  copies,  but  his 
being  assured  that  due  care  shall  be  taken  to  have  it  correct  and  well  exe 
cuted  —  that  this  shall  be  the  case,  no  labour  or  cost,  within  the  subscriber's 
reach,  will  be  wanting  •  for  it  is  his  ambition,  should  he  proceed  with  the 
work,  to  have  it  completed  in  such  a  manner  as  shall  disgrace  neither  himself 
nor  his  country. 

It  cannot  be  presumed  that  any  thing  need  be  said  to  recommend  the  BIBLE, 
that  ground  work  of  our  holy  Religion,  to  any  class  of  citizens  whatever  — 


INTRODUCTION.  xxxv 

if  there  should,  nothing  new  can  be  given  on  the  subject — we  must  repub- 
lish  the  ideas  of  those  who  have  gone  before  us. — Books  are  addressed  to  the 
Judgment  or  the  Imagination — intended  to  touch  the  Passions,  or  please  the 
Fancy. — The  HOLY  BIBLE  addresses  the  Soul,  directs  to  the  paths  of  peace 
and  happiness  here,  and  brings  to  view  a  beautiful  prospect  of  an  hereafter — 
in  its  pages  may  be  viewed,  with  awful  surprise,  the  great  and  glorious  works 
of  Creation — and  with  pleasing  admiration  may  be  seen  the  Rise  and  Fall  of 
Empires — the  Revolutions  of  Kingdoms  and  States — the  various  Vicissitudes 
of  Life  in  all  stations — the  Depravity  of  Human  Nature,  when  Man  is  for 
saken  by  his  God — the  easy  transitions  from  Innocence  to  Guilt,  from  Virtue 
to  Vice — the  Policy  of  Courts,  and  Simplicity  of  Cottages — the  Rage  of 
Lust — Folly  of  Pride — Fate  of  Tyranny,  and  Madness  of  Ambition. — Here 
may  be  found  Patterns  for  all  who  wish  to  practice  the  Christian  and  Moral 
Duties.  St.  Gregory  says,  "  From  the  Patriarchs  we  may  take  the  model  of 
all  virtues — Abel  teaches  us  Innocence — Enoch,  Purity  of  Heart — Noah,  a 
firm  Perseverance  in  Righteousness — Abraham,  the  Perfection  of  Piety  and 
Faithfulness — Joseph,  Chastity — Jacob,  Constancy  in  Labour — Moses,  Meek 
ness — and  Job,  invincible  Patience. — Salvation,  the  most  glorious  prize  that 
man  can  obtain,  may  be  perused  (sic)  with  pleasure,  and  it  may  with  ease  be 
acquired,  if  Piety  is  the  guide,  and  Faith  the  intercessor — the  mercy  of  God 
is  greater  than  our  delinquency,  and  happiness  eternal  within  our  reach,  if 
we  suppress  the  gratification  of  our  passions  to  seek  it :  Read,  therefore,  and 
be  informed — look  for,  and  find." 

To  the  PUBLICK  at  large. 

AS  it  is  presumed  that  every  denomination  of  Christians  will  be  pleased 
with  the  intention  of  the  proposer,  so  he  rests  assured  that  all  will  cheerfully 
contribute  in  aiding  him  to  carry  on  and  complete  this  first  American  Edi 
tion  of  a  Royal  Quarto  Bible.  He  begs  permission  to  subscribe  himself, 

With  the  greatest  respect,  &c.,

the  prospectus  was  issued.1  An  8vo.  edition  was  published 
by  the  same  house  in  1793  and  a  12mo.  in  1797.  This  was 
known  as  Thomas's  Standing  12mo.  edition;  there  are  some 
peculiarities  about  it  noted  in  this  Catalogue,  of  interest  to 
the  Bibliographer. 

No  copy  of  the  Scriptures  was  printed  in  NEW  YORK  pre 
vious  to  1790.  A  gentleman  of  literature,  taste  and  merit, 
a  resident  of  that  city  and  well  known  in  the  political  world, 
was  engaged  in  1788  in  translating  the  sublime  book  of  Isaiah 
and  the  other  Prophets  into  English.2  In  1790  HUGH  GAINE 
published  a  New  Testament,  and  ROBERT  HODGE,  THOMAS 
ALLEN  and  SAMUEL  CAMPBELL,  printers  in  that  city,  issued 
the  following  notice :

A  beautiful  edition  of  the  Holy  Bible,  in  Quarto,  printed 
on  large  type  and  fine  paper,  adorned  with  twenty  elegant 
copper  plates,  was  announced  at  the  same  time  by  this  firm  ; 
and,  being  desirous,  like  Aitken,  of  having  the  sanction  of 
the  civil  authority,  they  petitioned  the  State  Legislature  to 
recommend  their  edition  of  Brown's  work. 

The  petition  was  presented  in  the  New  York  Senate  on 
the  18th  of  March,  1790,  and  referred  to  Messrs.  Duane, 
L'hommedieu  and  Van  Ness,  who,  on  the  6th  of  April, 
recommended  the  passage  of  the  following  concurrent  reso 
lution  : 

Resolved  (if  the  House  of  Assembly  concurr  herein),  That  the  Legisla 
ture  highly  approve  the  laudable  exertions  of  Messrs.  Hodge,  Allen  and 
Campbell,  booksellers  in  New  York,  to  promote  the  Industry  and  Manufac 
tures  of  America  by  printing  a  correct  and  neat  Edition  of  Doctor  John 


1  New  York  Journal  &  Patriotic  Register,  August  3d,  1790. 


xxxviii  INTRODUCTION. 

Brown's  Folio  Family  Bible ;  illustrated  with  short  Notes  and  Annotations, 
so  cautiously  expressed  as  not  to  give  offence  to  any  denomination  of  Chris 
tians  ;  and  hope  they  may  meet  sufficient  encouragement  to  complete  their 
undertaking  agreeably  to  their  Memorial  to  the  Legislature,  whereby  the 
people  may  be  supplied  with  this  edition  much  cheaper  than  can  be  im 
ported. 

The  House  of  Assembly  concurred  on  the  same  day.1 

It  is  curious  to  remark  the  caution*  with  which  this  reso 
lution  is  drawn  up.  Justly  doubtful  of  its  constitutional 
power  in  the  premises,  the  Legislature  does  not  recommend 
the  work,  neither  does  it  approve  the  project,  in  the  words  of 
the  Old  Congress,  as  "  a  pious  and  laudable  undertaking," 
but  as  a  praiseworthy  effort  "  to  promote  the  Industry  and 
Manufactures  of  America."  A  singular  sort  of  approbation, 
to  say  the  least  of  it,  when  the  character  of  the  work  is 
considered. 

The  publication  received  the  commendation  of  the  Asso 
ciate  Reformed  Synod,  and  a  writer  of  the  day,  under  the 
pseudonym  of  Pliilobiblicus,  "  felicitates  our  Country  on  the 
undertaking  of  three  printers  of  this  city,  who  will  not  only 
have  the  applause  of  every  true  friend  of  Religion  in  America, 
but  the  very  warm  recommendation  of  those  who  know 
something  more  than  common  fame  of  the  Venerable  Old 
Man,  Mr.  John  Brown,  Minister  of  the  Gospel  of  Hadding- 
ton."2 

Mr.  Allen  retired  from  the  firm  shortly  after  the  passage 
of  the  above  resolution,  and  his  name  is,  in  consequence, 
omitted  in  the  imprint  to  the  work,  as  it  had  already  been 
dropped  from  the  Prospectus. 

The  issue  of  the  above  editions  was  completed  in  the  spring 
of  1792.  They  are  the  first  Bibles  that  were  printed  in  New 
York.  In  August  of  the  same  year,  Hugh  Gaine  issued  a 
duodecimo  Bible,  but  the  types  from  which  it  was  printed

were  imported,  it  is  said,  from  Scotland,  already  set  up  in 
pages ;  they  were  sold  eventually  in  1803  to  Mathew  Carey 
of  Philadelphia  for  /Seven  thousand  dollars. 

These  were  all  the  States  in  which  editions  of  the  Bible 
were  published  previous  to  1809.  A  School  Testament  had 
been  issued  in  New  Haven  in  1790,  but  as  far  as  our 
enquiries  have  gone,  no  copy  of  the  Bible  was  issued  in  Con 
necticut  before  that  published  by  Hudson  &  Goodwin  of 
Hartford,  in  the  first  mentioned  year. 

The  advertisements  of  these  various  editions,  by  irrespon 
sible  persons,  for  as  yet  they  appear  to  have  been  mere 
printers'  speculations,  alarmed  Theologians,  who  at  length 
became  aware  of  the  necessity  of  some  steps  to  ensure  the 
purity  and  uniformity  of  the  text.  Accordingly  the  subject 
was  brought  before  the  Congregational  Ministers  of  Massa 
chusetts  at  their  Annual  Convention  in  Boston,  who  on  the 
27th  May,  1790,  voted 

That  the  Rev'd  Doer.  Willard,  Doer.  Howard,  Mr.  Morse,  Mr.  Payson? 
and  Mr.  Thatcher,  be  a  Committee,  in  the  name  and  behalf  of  the  Congrega 
tional  Ministers  of  this  Commonwealth,  in  convention  assembled,  to  prepare,, 
sign  and  transmit  to  the  Congress  of  the  United  States  a  petition  requesting^ 
the  attention  of  that  Hon'ble  Body,  to  the  subject  of  the  several  impressions- 
of  the  Bible  now  making ;  representing  the  importance  of  accuracy  in  these 
impressions ;  and  earnestly  praying  that  they  would  take  such  measures,  as 
the  Constitution  may  permit,  that  no  Edition  of  the  Bible,  or  its  translatioa 
be  published  in  America  without  its  being  carefully  inspected  and  certified 
to  be  free  from  error. 

That  the  same  persons  be  a  Committee  to  apply  to  the  representative 
Bodies  of  the  other  Denominations  of  Christians  in  America,  and  to  request 
their  assistance  and  support,  in  accomplishing  so  important  and  desirable  an. 
Object. 

The  petition  was  presented  in  the  Senate  of  the  United: 
States,  on  the  10th  June  following,  when  it  was  ordered  to 
lie  for  consideration.1 

Agreeably  to  the  second  of  the  above  votes,  the  Committee 
addressed  a  letter  on  the  24th  June  to  Bishop  Parker  of 


1  Senate  Journal,  107. 


xl  INTRODUCTION. 

Boston,  setting  forth,  that  it  was  "unquestionably  of  the 
highest  importance  that  this  acknowledged  fountain  of  truth 
[the  Bible]  be  preserved  pure  and  uncorrupted,  which  will 
not  probably  be  the  case  if  the  matter  is  left  wholly  to 
printers. 

We,  therefore  as  friends  and  Brethren,  united  in  promoting  the  same 
general  Cause,  and  as  jointly  concerned  in  preserving  the  purity  of  the  Holy 
Scriptures,  do,  in  behalf  of  the  Convention  earnestly  request  the  concurrence 
of  the  Episcopal  clergy  throughout  the  United  States,  or  of  their  repre 
sentative  Body,  in  petitioning  Congress  that  they  would  so  far  interpose 
their  authority  as  to  prevent  inaccurate  and  spurious  Editions  of  the  Bible. 

It  was  the  wish  of  the  Convention  to  have  written  in  the  first  instance 
to  your  Rev'd  Body  and  the  other  representative  Bodies  of  Christians  in  the 
several  States,  requesting  that  Committees  might  be  appointed  by  each  to 
confer  and  unite  with  us  in  one  petition  and  thus  to  concentre  the  whole 
Christian  Interest  in  America;  But  to  accomplish  this  desirable  object  would 
have  taken  a  long  time,  and  it  was  thought,  the  Business  was  of  immediate 
importance  as  proposals  for  several  editions  of  the  Bible  are  now  in  circu 
lation. 

We  take  this  opportunity  to  express  our  sincere  desire  to  cultivate  a 
friendly  and  Christian  intercourse  with  the  ministers  of  your  denomination, 
as  we  are  firmly  persuaded  that  such  an  intercourse  between  Christians  of 
different  Denominations  and  sentiments  would  have  a  happy  tendency  to 
harmonize  them — to  remove  unreasonable  prejudices — to  promote  a  spirit  of 
love  and  candour — and  thus  essentially  serve  the  interest  of  our  holy  Reli 
gion.  It  might  also  have  a  beneficial  influence  on  the  civil  affairs  of  our 
Country. 

We  wish  you,  Sir,  to  communicate  the  foregoing  to  the  largest  repre 
sentative  Body  of  the  Episcopal  Church  in  America  as  soon  as  you  have  an 
Opportunity. 

Wishing  prosperity  to  the  peaceful  Kingdom  of  our  common  Lord  and 
Saviour, 

We  are  Rev'd  Sir,  your  Brethren  in  Christ,

rical  Society,  for  copy  of  which  we  are  indebted  to  George  Livermore,  Esq. 


INTRODUCTION,  xli 

We  do  not  find  any  response  to  this  invitation  in  the 
Journal  of  the  Convention  of  the  Protestant  Episcopal 
Church.  In  January,  1791,  the  Baptist  Associations  of  New 
Hampshire,  Massachusetts,  Ehode  Island,  Connecticut  and 
Vermont  renewed  the  application  to  Congress  "to  adopt 
measures  to  prevent  the  publication  of  any  inaccurate  editions 
of  the  Holy  Bible.1  An  amendment  had  however  been  made 
to  the  Constitution  in  1789,  which  enacted  that  "Congress 
shall  make  no  law  respecting  an  establishment  of  religion  or 
prohibiting  the  free  exercise  thereof;  or  abridging  the  freedom 
of  speech  or  of  the  press ;"  and  all  these  petitions  were  ac 
cording  ordered  to  lie  on  the  table,  as  a  compliance  with 
their  prayer  would  have  undoubtedly  been  a  violation  of  the 
above  Article. 

The  movement  seems,  however  to  have  alarmed  Mr. 
Thomas,  who  addressed  a  letter  to  the  Congregational  Con 
vention  at  its  next  Annual  Meeting,  the  tenor  of  which  may 
be  inferred  from  the  following  answer. 

BOSTON,  May  26,  1791. 

SIR: 

Your  letter  addressed  to  the  Rev'd  Clergy  of  the  Commonwealth  of 
Massachusetts  in  Convention  assembled,  was  yesterday  communicated,  and  I 
am  directed  to  return  the  following  answer : 

That  the  Convention  highly  approve  of  the  care  which  you  have  exercised,, 
and  of  the  anxious  desires  which  you  express,  to  have  the  editions  which 
you  are  now  printing  of  the  Holy  Bible  perfectly  correct.  That  the  Con 
vention  are  strongly  impressed  with  the  importance  of  having  all  the  new 
editions  of  the  Bible  which  may  be  made  in  this  country  critically  examined 
by  persons  duly  qualified  for  that  work ;  and  accordingly  at  their  last  meet 
ing  they  appointed  a  Committee  to  address  the  Honorable  the  Legislature  of 
the  United  States  on  that  interesting  subject,  and  requested,  that  in  their- 
wisdom  they  would  order  such  measures  to  be  taken  as  should  prevent  any 
accidental  or  designed  errors  from  being  published  together  with  the  Oracles 
of  God.  Inasmuch  as  the  Convention  have  requested  the  Legislature  of  the 
Union  to  interpose  their  wisdom  and  their  authority  for  the  purposes  men-

tioned  above,  they  conceive  there  would  be  an  impropriety  in  their  appoint 
ing  a  Committee  of  their  own  Body  to  supervise  the  editions  of  the  Bible 
which  you  are  now  making. 

They  most  heartily  wish  you  success  in  your  laudable  undertaking ;  but 
every  kind  of  approbation  of  a  work  of  this  kind,  from  this  body,  must 
depend  upon  the  accuracy  and  fidelity  with  which  the  work  when  completed 
shall  appear  to  have  been  executed. 

In  the  name  of  the  Convention, 
I  am, 
Sir, 

Your  most  obed't, 
Mr.  Isaiah  Thomas.  JOHN  LATHROP.1 

Meanwhile  Mathew  Carey  of  Philadelphia,  who  had 
already  issued  the  first  quarto  Doway  Bible  in  this  country, 
turned  his  attention  to  getting  up  a  Quarto  edition  of  King 
James's  version.  Having,  himself,  left  us  the  particulars  of 
the  rise  and  progress  of  that  enterprise  :  of  the  difficulties  he 
encountered  and  overcame,  and  of  the  success  he  at  length 
achieved  with  his  celebrated  "  Standing "  editions,  nothing 
remains  for  us  but  to  copy  his  interesting  Narrative  : 

In  1801,  I  published  a  quarto  edition  of  the  Bible  (of  three  thousand 
copies,)  with  various  additional  references,  for  which  I  paid  a  clergyman  one 
thousand  dollars.  Price  ten  dollars. 

I  had  eighteen  various  editions  to  collate  in  the  reading  of  the  proof 
sheets — four  London,  three  Cambridge,  three  Oxford,  six  Edinburg,  and  two 
American, — those  of  Isaac  Collins  and  Isaiah  Thomas- — and  found  a  most 
extraordinary  number  of  discrepancies,  some  of  which  are  incredible.  In 
one  Edinburg  edition,  published  by  Mark  and  Charles  Kerr,  1795,  among 
the  prohibitions  of  incestuous  marriages,  one  was — "A  man  may  not  marry 
his  wife's  mother's  brother." 

Feeling  deeply  solicitous  for  the  success  of  this  undertaking,  the  failure 
of  which  would  have  almost  ruined  me,  and  fearful  lest  some  captious  hyper- 
critic  should  discover  any  errors,  which  might  have  escaped  me,  notwith 
standing  all  the  care  I  had  taken  in  reading  the  proof  sheets,  I  prefixed  to 
the  volume  a  deprecatory  advertisement  of  which  I  annex  some  extracts. 


1  From  a  copy  politely  communicated  by  S.  F.  Haven,  Esq.,  of  Worcester, 

Mass. 


INTRODUCTION.  xliii 

"  I  present  this  edition  of  the  BIBLE  to  the  public,  with  a  degree  of 
solicitude  proportioned  to  the  magnitude  of  the  undertaking.  Having  em 
barked  therein  a  large  property,  and  devoted  my  utmost  care  and  attention 
to  it,  from  its  commencement  to  its  completion,  I  find  it  impossible  to  assume 
that  degree  of  stoicism  necessary  to  regard  with  indifference  its  reception  by 
my  fellow-citizens. 

"  That  a  rigorous  and  severe  spirit  of  criticism  may  discover  grounds  of 
censure  with  respect  to  the  paper,  printing,  engraving,  &c.,  &c.,  is,  I  think, 
highly  probable.  It  is  a  very  easy  matter  to  find  fault.  A  poor  sciolist, 
whose  circle  of  sciences  extends  no  farther  than  the  Grammatical  Institute, 
may  discern  that  there  is  a  want  of  uniformity  in  the  paper — that  the  print 
ing  is  far  inferior  to  Haskerville' s — that  the  engravings  are  not  equal  to  those 
by  Bartolozzi,  or  Heath — that  there  are  typographical  errors  in  the  work — 
and  to  show  his  taste  and  sagacity,  may  make  various  other  objections.  And 
when  I  consider  the  malignant  pleasure  many  feel,  in  depreciating  the  labors, 
and  counteracting  the  well  founded  hopes  of  others,  I  freely  confess,  I  am 
disposed  to  approach  the  bar  of  the  public  with  some  awe  and  apprehension. 

"  But  from  men  of  this  obliquity  of  heart,  I  most  cheerfully  avert  my 
eye.  I  turn  to  those  of  liberal  minds — who  find  more  pleasure  in  bestowing 
praise,  than  in  dealing  forth  censure — who  are  as  eager  to  discover  merit,  as 
the  envious  and  malicious  are  to  decry  it — who  are  fully  conscious  of,  and 
willing  to  make  allowance  for,  human  imperfection — who,  knowing  the  infant 
state  of  the  arts  among  us,  do  not  expect  that  degree  of  elegance  and 
beauty,  for  which  older  and  more  opulent  nations  afford  such  encouragement. 
When  I  look  forward  to  a  jury  of  such  men,  sitting  in  judgment  on  this 
volume,  I  feel  my  spirits  revive. 

"  That  this  work  is  wholly  free  from  inaccuracy,  I  cannot  pretend.  In 
fact,  I  will  venture  to  say  that  no  work,  equally  voluminous,  ever  was  so. 
But  that  there  are  no  material  errors  in  it,  and  that  it  is  as  correct  as  those 
Bibles  which  are  brought  into  this  country  from  London,  Cambridge,  Oxford, 
and  Edinburgh,  I  fondly  believe.  To  remove  any  incredulity  on  this  sub 
ject,  and  to  induce  the  reader  to  forgive  the  few  trivial  errors  which  have 
escaped  the  vigilance  of  the  correctors  of  the  press,  I  annex  a  small  number 
of  errata,  out  of  hundreds  which  I  might  have  selected  from  different 
British  editions.

"  As  the  proof  sheets  were  compared  with  different  editions,  a  discovery 
was  early  made,  that  numerous  and  very  important  variations  existed  between 
them. 

"  It  was  found  that  in  many  instances,  the  Oxford  and  Cambridge  editions 
agreed ;  that  they  differed  from  the  Edinburgh  and  London  ;  in  others,  that 
the  London  and  Cambridge  agreed,  and  differed  from  the  Oxford  and  Edin 
burgh;  in  others,  again,  that  the  Edinburgh  varied  from  all  the  rest.  This 
occasioned  considerable  difficulty.  In  every  case,  recourse  was  had  to  as 
many  copies  as  could  be  procured,  and  that  reading  was  uniformly  preferred,

which  was  sanctioned  by  the  most  numerous  and  best  authorities,  or  which 
appeared  most  congruous  with  the  context. 

"  One  or  two  examples  will  suffice  to  illustrate  the  plan  pursued,  which 
has  been  the  result  of  the  most  mature  deliberation,  and  which,  I  hope  will 
meet  the  approbation  of  the  public. 

"  In  all  the  Oxford,  Cambridge,  London,  Trenton,  and  Worcester  editions, 
Luke  xxni,  32,  reads  thus:  — 

"  And  there  were  also  two  other  malefactors  led  with  him  to  be  put  to 
death."  But  five  respectable  Edinburgh  copies  read, — 

"And  there  were  also  two  others,  malefactors,  led  with  him  to  be  put  to 
death/' 

"This  reading  was  readily  preferred.  It  was  impossible  that  the  Apostle, 
in  speaking  of  his  beloved  Master,  should  have  styled  him  a  malefactor, 
which  is  the  only  construction  whereof  the  first  reading  is  susceptible.  Had 
one  of  Pilate's  soldiers  been  writing  on  the  subject,  he  would  have  expressed 
himself  thus.  The  Greek  xai  srspoi  <%o,  xaxupyo/,  with  a  comma  after  Sito, 
admits  the  Edinburgh  construction  as  perfectly  correct. 

"It  is  to  be  further  observed,  that  the  Latin  translation  of  Junius  and 
Tremellius  favors  this  reading : — "  Ducebantur  autem  etiam  alii  duo,  iique 
facinorosi,  cum  eo,  interimendi."  Edit,  in-fol.  ffanovise,  1623. 

"As  I  have  touched  on  the  subject  of  variations,  I  beg  the  reader's  atten 
tion,  while  I  treat  on  it  a  little  more  at  length. 

"  The  variations  are  of  five  kinds.  1st.  Of  Punctuation ;  2d.  Of  Ortho 
graphy  ;  3d.  Where  words  are  in  one  edition  in  Italic,  as  suppletory,  and 
in  Koman  in  another,  as  if  they  were  in  the  original ;  4th.  Where  the 
difference  is  merely  verbal,  without  affecting  the  sense ;  and  5th.  Where 
there  is  a  variation  not  only  in  the  words  but  in  the  sense. 

"  I.      Variations  in  Punctuation. 

"  The  variations  of  this  class  are  innumerable ;  generally  however,  they 
are  unimportant.  As  far  as  I  have  been  able  to  observe,  there  is  no  edition 
whatever  of  the  Bible  that  has  an  uniform  system  of  punctuation.  The 
same  sentence,  occurring  in  different  places,  in  the  same  Bible,  is  by  no 
means  always  punctuated  in  the  same  manner. 

"  I  shall  mention  but  one  example  of  variation  of  this  class.  Gen.  xxvi, 
8,  has  eight  commas  in  the  Edinburgh,  six  in  the  Oxford,  and  only  three  in 
the  Cambridge  and  London  editions. 

"  II.      Orthographical   Variations. 

"  These  are  not  so  numerous  as  the  former ;  but  they  are  by  no  means 
inconsiderable.  Among  those  that  attracted  most  attention,  in  the  progress 
of  the  work,  were — besides,  beside;  towards,  toward;  among,  amongst ; 


xlvi  INTRODUCTION. 

rallies,  valleys;    champian,    champaign;    subtil,  subtile;    divers,  diverse; 
aught,  ought;   born,  borne;  &c.,  &c. 

"  Diverse  and  divers  are  miserably  confounded  together.  They  appear  to 
be  regarded  as  synonymous,  which  is  an  egregious  error.  Divers  signifies 
many ;  diverse,  different. 

"  III.      Variations  with  respect  to  Suppletory    Verbs. 

"  Those  who  have  ever  paid  attention  to  the  perusal  of  the  Bible,  know 
that  there  are  numberless  instances  wherein  words,  which  are  well  under 
stood,  but  not  expressed,  in  the  original,  are  introduced  in  the  English 
translation ;  all  such  words  are  generally,  in  the  correct  editions,  in  the 
Italic  character,  by  which  the  reader  is  given  to  understand  that  they  are 
suppletory  ;  in  most  instances,  the  sense  is  complete  without  them.  Thus  : 

"  And  they  wrote  letters  by  them  after  this  manner."     Acts  xv,  23. 1 

Is  in  the  original  Greek, 

"  And  they  wrote  by  them  after  this  manner." 

Which  conveys  the  same  idea  as  the  former  line. 

"  IV.      Verbal  variations,  which  do  not  affect  the  sense. 

11  The  variations  of  this  class  are  incredibly  numerous  :  and  it  is  to  be 
observed,  that  even  the  editions  printed  at  any  of  the  before-mentioned 
places,  do  not  agree  with  each  other.  I  subjoin  some  examples  for  the 
reader's  inspection : — 

"  And   Moses   put  of  the   blood  "  And   Moses   put  of  the   blood 

upon   the   tip   of  their  right  ear."  upon  the  tip  of  their  right  ears." 
Lev.  vin,  24.2 

"  And  all  that  have  not  fins  and  "  And  all  that  have  not  fins  nor 

scales  in  the  sea."     Lev.  XI,  10.3  scales  in  the  sea." 

"  And  ye  shall  not  walk  in  the  "  And  ye  shall  not  walk  in  the 

manners  of  the  nations  which  I  cast  manners  of  the  nation  which  I  cast 

out  before  you."     Lev.  xx,  23.*  out  before  you." 

"  V.      Variations  of  meaning  as  well  as  words. 

"These  variations  are  by  no  means  numerous.  Some  of  them,  doubtless, 
have  arisen  from  the  carelessness  of  the  printers,  who  published  the  early 
editions,  and  have  been  servilely  copied  by  successive  editors ;  but  others

INTRODUCTION.  xlvii 

have  most  probably  been  the  result  of  the  liberty  taken  by  editors,  of  inno 
vating  upon  the  original  translation,  executed  in  the  time  of  King  James. 

"  To  illustrate  this  idea,  I  shall  select  two  examples.  In  many  editions  of 
the  Bible,  Lev.  i,  6,  reads — 

"  '  And  he  shall  Jlay  the  burnt  offering.' 

"  In  other  editions  it  is — 

"  '  And  he  shall  flay  the  burnt  offering.' 

"It  is  obvious  that  the  similarity  between  Jl  and  ft  may  have  led  one  editor 
into  error ;  and  that  in  subsequent  editions  the  error  may  have  been  repeated. 

"  But  we  cannot  in  the  same  way  account  for  the  following  variation  : — 

"  In  the  Oxford  Quarto  editions  of  1784  and  1795,  and  the  Cambridge  of 
1769  and  1770,,  Psalm  cvii,  16,  reads— 

"  '  For  he  hath  broken  the  gates  of  brass,  aad  cut  the  gates  of  iron, 
asunder.' 

"  Whereas  in  nearly  all  the  other  editions  it  stands — 

"  '  For  he  hath  broken  the  gates  of  brass,  and  cut  the  bars  of  iron  in 
sunder.' 

"  In  the  Cambridge  Quartos  of  1769  and  1770,  the  Octavo  of  1767,  and 
the  London  Quarto  of  1772,  Leviticus  vii,  13,  stands — 

"  '  Besides  the  cakes,  he  shall  offer  for  his  offering  unleavened  bread.' 

"  Whereas  in  fourteen  other  editions  which  have  been  consulted,  it  is — 

"  '  Besides  the  cakes,  he  shall  offer  for  his  offering  leavened  bread.' 

"It  is  highly  probable  that  leavened  bread  is  the  correct  reading;  as  the 
marginal  reference  from  this  verse  is  to  Amos  iv,  5,  which  I  here  submit  to- 
the  reader  : 

"  '  And  offer  a  sacrifice  of  thanksgiving  with  leaven,  and  proclaim  and  pub 
lish  the  free  offerings  :  for  this  liketh  you,  0  children  of  Israel.'  " 

Soon  after  the  publication  of  this  edition,  the  success  of  which  fully 
equaled  my  most  sa'nguine  expectations,  I  ventured  on  the  publication  of  a 
standing  edition  of  the  Quarto  Bible,  a  great  undertaking  for  a  man  not  long 
in  business,  of  whose  means  a  large  portion  was  absorbed  in  dead  stock.  It. 
was  the  first  standing  edition  of  the  English  Quarto  Bible  ever  published.. 
The  Scotch,  who  had  a  most  extensive  sale  for  their  Bibles,  were  wont,  as  I 
have  been  credibly  informed,  to  set  up  about  twenty  or  thirty  sheets,  and- 
print  off  twenty  thousand  copies — then  distribute  the  types,  and  set  up  as; 
many  more.  Until  lately,  I  believed  that  mine  was  the  first  standing  Bibl& 
in  Christendom.  But  I  have  recently  learned  that  of  Luther's  Bible,  in  the. 
German,  a  Quarto,  and  perhaps  a  Folio  edition,  had  been  standing  in  some 
part  of  Germany  for  probably  a  century. 

About  the  time  when  I  had  the  Quarto  Bible  set  up,  I  purchased  of  Hugh

Gaine^of  New- York,   the  School  Bible,  for,  as  far  as  I  can  recollect,  seven 
thousand  dollars.1 

In  reviewing  the  rise  and  progress  of  Bible  printing  in  this 
country,  it  is  not  our  intention  to  trace  each  edition  to  its 
extinction,  or  to  repeat  here  those  which  followed  the  first 
in  rapid  succession.  Our  design  is  merely  to  notice  in  this 
Introduction  what  may  be  called  the  "  pioneer  "  editions,  re 
ferring  the  reader  to  the  text  for  fuller  and  more  minute 
information  on  the  progress  of  this  branch  of  Bibliography. 

The  Greek  Testament  was  printed  for  the  first  time  in 
these  States  in  the  year  1800.  We  have  collected  the  titles 
of  sixteen  editions  in  the  ancient  and  three  in  modern  Greek, 
which  have  appeared  from  the  American  press. 

An  effort  was  made  in  1810  in  New  Haven  to  publish  an 
edition  of  the  Bible  in  Hebrew,  but  it  failed,  though  the 
Psalms  had  already  been  published  at  Cambridge,  Mass.,  in 
that  language,  in  the  course  of  the  previous  year.  The  first 
American  edition  of  the  Hebrew  Bible  did  not  appear  until 
1813-14. 

In  1810  the  Scriptures  began  to  be  published  among  us  in 
French ;  the  first  edition  consisted  of  a  Testament,  with  the 
approbation  of  Bishop  Cheverus,  of  Boston.  Editions  in 
Spanish  followed  in  1819. 

In  a  Catalogue  of  books  printed  in  America,  it  would 
not  be  fair  to  limit  our  researches  to  the  United  States.  We 
accordingly  endeavored  to  ascertain  what  progress  has  been 
made  in  the  other  parts  of  this  Continent,  ,in  the  department 
of  Biblical  literature.  As  there  are  not  at  present  any 
Ministers  at  Washington,  from  the  Republics  of  Chile  and 
Peru,  our  enquiries,  as  regards  these  countries,  have  been 
necessarily  restricted.  Ludovicus  de  Vera,  a  native  of  Lima,

INTRODUCTION.  xlix 

wrote  a  Commentary  on  the  Books  of  Kings,  which  was 
printed  in  that  city  in  Folio,  in  1635,  and  Ferdinand  de 
Valverde,  also  a  native  of  the  same  place,  and  of  the  Order 
of  St.  Augustine,  wrote  a  Life  of  Christ,  which  was  pub 
lished  in  Lima,  in  Quarto,  in  1657.  Benedict  Fernandez,  a 
Spanish  Dominican,  and  Vicar  -  of  Mixteca,  in  New  Spain, 
translated  the  Epistles  and  Gospels  into  the  dialect  of  that 
province.  Didacus  de  Sta.  Maria,  another  Dominican,  and 
Vicar  of  the  province  of  Mexico  (who  died  in  1579),  was 
the  author  of  a  translation  of  the  Epistles  and  Gospels  into 
the  Mexican  tongue,  or  general  language  of  the  country. 
The  Proverbs  of  Solomon,  and  other  fragments  of  the  Scrip 
tures  were  translated  into  the  same  language  by  a  Franciscan 
named  Louis  Rodriguez,  and  the  Epistles  and  Gospels  ap 
pointed  to  be  read  for  the  whole  year,  were  rendered  into- 
the  idiom  of  the  Western  Indians  by  Arnold  Bassaccio,, 
also  a  Franciscan ;  but  the  dates  of  these  versions  have  not 
been  ascertained.1  The  entire  Bible  is  said  to  have  been 
translated  into  the  Brazilian  language  by  an  English  minis 
ter,  who  accompanied  the  Dutch  to  the  Reciff,  when  they 
acquired  it  from  the  Portuguese.  This  version  has  never 
been  printed.2  A  Quarto  edition  of  Scios's  Spanish  Bible., 
printed  in  Mexico  in  1831-1835,  will  be  found  in  this  List. 

In  1835  or  1836,  Mr.  William  L.  Mackenzie  purchased 
from  the  Bible  Society  at  New  York  a  sett  of  stereotype 
plates,  and  got  new  title  pages  cast  for  the  Old  and  New 
Testaments,  substituting  Toronto  and  his  own  name  for  the 
Bible  Society's  imprint.  But  he  did  not  print  an  edition 
from  these  plates ;  they  passed  eventually  into  the  hands  of  a, 
Mr.  Eastwood,  who  published  a  Bible  from  them  at  Toronto,

in  1839  or  1840,  on  paper  manufactured  at  his  mill  on  the 
river  Don,  immediately  east  of  that  city.  There  was  but 
one  edition  of  this  Eastwood  Bible,  after  which  the  plates 
were  resold  in  New  York ;  it  was  the  only  Bible  ever  printed 
in  Canada  in  the  English  language.1 

The  issues  in  Canada  East  are  limited  to  an  edition  of  the 
New  Testament  in  French,  with  Pere  du  Carriere's  Notes. 


1  As  we  have  been  unable,  notwithstanding  all  our  efforts,  to  find  a  copy 
of  this  Bible,  and  as  its  existence  is  already  almost  forgotten,  we  subjoin 
extracts  from  letters  received  on  the  subject. 

TORONTO,  Dec.  15,  1858. 

Dr.    E.    B.    O'CALLAGHAN  : 

DEAR  SIR — I  bought  in  1837  and  brought  to  Canada  the  plates  of  a 
complete  edition  of  the  Bible,  Old  and  New  Testament.  Of  these  I  printed 
specimens — say  dozen  of  pages — and  sent  them  around  ....  I  think  East 
wood  bought  the  plates.  I  think  he  printed  an  edition  .  .  . 

Yours,  &c., 

W.  L.  MACKENZIE. 

I  thought  I  had  a  copy  of  the  Bible  printed  by  my  father,  but  cannot  find 
one.  The  edition  was  printed  about  1839  or  '40.  There  never  was  but  one 
edition  printed,  after  which  the  plates  were  sold  in  New  York.

W.  L.  MACKENZIE,  Esq. : 

SIR — A  small  edition  of  the  Bible  was  printed  by  my  late  father,  but 
where  you  can  procure  a  copy,  I  really  cannot  say. 

Yours,  truly, 

JOHN  EASTWOOD.

Dr.  E.  B.  O'CALLAGHAN,  Albany : 

DEAR  SIR —  ....  I  bought  the  plates  from  the  Bible  Society,  at  New 
York  in  1835  or  1836,  I  think.  I  got  a  new  title  page  for  the  Old  and  also 
for  the  New  Testament,  substituting  my  name  and  Toronto,  for  that  of  the 
Bible  Society  and  New  York.  W.  L.  MACKENZIE. 


INTRODUCTION.  li 

In  the  Gulf  Provinces,  a  Catholic  Testament  has,  it  is 
said,  been  published  in  Halifax,  N.  S.,  but  it  has  not  been 
seen. 

The  Catholic  Bibles  published  in  the  United  States,  are, 
with  the  exceptions  of  Archbishop  Kenrick's  revised  edition, 
and  the  Bible  and  Testament  edited  by  the  Rev.  Mr.  Mc- 
Mahon,  reprints  of  those  issued  in  England  or  Ireland. 
They  all  profess,  on  their  title  pages,  to  be  translated  from 
the  Latin  Vulgate,  and,  with  one  exception,  to  be  copied 
from  the  Doway  and  Rheims  Testaments. 

At  the  commencement  of  the  Christian  era,  the  Latin  was 
gradually  supplanting  the  Greek,  as  a  general  language,  and, 
as  a  consequence,  soon  became  that  of  the  Western  church, 
which  at  the  first  introduction  of  Christianity,  possessed  a 
very  great  number  of  versions  of  the  Scriptures.  One  of 
these,  known  as  the  Old  Italic,  acquired  a  more  extensive 
circulation  on  account  of  its  clearness  and  fidelity.  In  pro 
gress  of  time,  however,  many  alterations  came  to  be  made  in 
the  text  by  transcribers.  St.  Jerome,  therefore,  was  re 
quested  by  Pope  Damasus,  to  revise  it,  and  accordingly, 
towards  the  end  of  the  fourth  century  first  corrected  the 
New  Testament  by  the  original  Greek,  and  next  translated 
into  Latin,  the  books  of  Kings,  Job,  the  Great  and  Minor 
Prophets,  the  Psalms,  the  books  of  Solomon,  Esdras,  Genesis, 
Josue,  Judges,  Ruth,  Paralipomenon,  and  Esther  from  the 
Hebrew,  and  the  books  of  Tobias  and  Judith  from  the  Chal- 
daic. 

He  did  not  translate  the  books  of  Wisdom,  Ecclesiasticus, 
Maccabees  I  and  II,  Baruch,  the  Epistle  of  Jeremias,  the 
Deuterocanonical  portions  of  Esther  and  David.  These 
were  adopted  from  and  remain  precisely  as  in  the  old,  or 
anti-Hieronymian  Vulgate.  Neither  are  the  Psalms  in  the 
present  Vulgate,  St.  Jerome's  translation,  but  his  second 


lii  INTRODUCTION. 

correction  of  the  old  version  from  the  XOIVYJ  of  Lucian  the 
martyr.1 

Thus  formed,  the  Latin  Vulgate  was  declared  authentic 
in  the  year  1546,  by  the  Council  of  Trent,  which  ordered  a 
standard  edition  to  be  published.  One  so  intended  was 
issued  in  1590,  by  authority  of  Sixtus  V,  and  was  corrected 
under  Clement  VIII,  in  1592.  Another  edition  was  issued 
with  some  slight  changes  in  1593,  and  this  is  the  only  recog 
nized  standard  in  the  Catholic  Church,2  which  never  has 
made,  and  most  probably  never  will  make  a  vernacular 
standard. 

A  translation  of  the  New  Testament  into  English  was  pub 
lished  at  Rheims  in  1582,  and  a  translation  of  the  Old  Tes 
tament  into  the  same  language,  at  Doway,  in  1609.  The 
English  version  of  the  Latin  Vulgate  is  hence  called  the 
Doway  Bible.  It  is  not,  however,  a  strict  translation  of  the 
Latin,  as  the  King  James's  version  is  of  the  Hebrew  and 
Greek,  but  resorts  occasionally  to  the  originals. 

In  the  course  of  the  following  century,  the  Doway  trans 
lation  was  revised  by  Bishop  Challoner  of  England,  who 
issued  one  complete  Bible  and  two  Testaments,  all  differing 
from  each  other.  These  have  been  revised  in  turn  by  others, 
until  now,  in  the  words  of  Cardinal  WISEMAN,  "  To  call  it 
any  longer  the  Doway  or  Rhemish  version,  is  an  abuse  of 
terms.  It  has  been  altered  and  modified  till  scarce  any 
verse  remains  as  it  was  originally  published ;  and  so  far  as 


1  St.  Jerome  made  a  translation  of  the  Psalms  from  the  Hebrew,  but  it 
was  not  adopted  as  the  common  version.     He  twice  corrected  the  Psalters 
of  the  old  Vulgate.     The  first  edition  is  called  the  Roman  Psaltery,  the 
second  the  Gallican  Psaltei'y.     The  latter  is  that  printed  in  the  Vulgate, 
and  adopted   by    the  church   at   Rome.      A    General  Introduction  to   the 
Sacred   Scriptures.      By   Rev.  Joseph  Dixon,  D.   D.     Dublin,   1852.     I,

simplicity  and  energy  of  style  are  concerned,  the  changes 
are  in  general  for  the  worse.  .  .  .  New  and  often  im 
portant  modifications  have  been  made  in  every  edition, 
which  has  followed,  till  at  length  many  may  appear  rather 
new  versions  than  revisions  of  the  old."1 

The  annexed  Table  will  show  some  of  the  systematic 
variations  from  the  Vulgate,  now-a-days.  We  have  not  room 
to  enumerate  all  the  texts  wherein  these  modern  editions 
vary,  not  only  from  the  Vulgate,  but  from  each  other ;  the 
text  of  the  New  Testament  of  Dr.  Troy's  Bible  of  1791, 
differing  from  that  of  Dr.  Challoner,  it  is  said,  in  at  least 
seven  or  eight  hundred  places. 

These  discrepancies,  as  well  as  the  gross  typographical 
errors  which  constantly  recur,  have  justly  excited  attention, 
and  there  is,  we  are  happy  to  see,  every  prospect  that  better 
editions  will  soon  supersede  those  now  issued.  Dr.  KENRICK, 
Archbishop  of  Baltimore,  has  already  published  an  entirely 
new  edition  of  the  Doway  Bible,  and  the  Very  Rev.  Dr. 
NEWMAN,  Superior  of  the  Oratorians  in  England,  has  been 
selected,  with  the  approbation  of  the  Holy  See,  and  at  the 
request  of  many  of  the  most  distinguished  among  the  Hier 
archy  of  England  and  Ireland,  to  prepare  a  new  English 
version  of  the  Latin  Vulgate. 

A  work  which  has  engaged  whatever  leisure  we  have  had 
during  the  last  three  years,  is  now  closed.  It  only  remains  for 
us  to  acknowledge  the  valuable  assistance  we  have  received, 
both  in  its  preparation,  and  whilst  it  was  passing  through 
the  press,  from  JAMES  LENOX  and  JOHN  G.  SHEA,  Esqrs.,  of 
New  York ;  GEORGE  LIVERMORE,  Esq.,  of  Boston ;  GEORGE 
BRINLEY,  Esq.,  of  Hartford;  S.  F.  HAVEN,  Esq.,  of  Worcester,

new  type,  full  faced  bourgeois  on  a  brevier  body.  The  text  is  in  double  columns,  with 
marginal  references  at  the  sides,  and  headings  in  Indian  at  the  top  of  the  pages,  but 
there  is  no  summary  at  the  beginning  of  the  chapters.  Mathew,  John  and  the  Acts 
commence,  each,with  an  ornamental  initial  letter,  but  the  initial  N  of  the  last  mentioned 
Book  is  inverted,  thus,  Jlf.  In  the  first  three  of  the  Gospels  the  name  of  the  Evangelist 
is  at  the  top  of  rhe  verso,  and  the  chap,  and  its  number,  of  the  recto  page  of  the  text ; 
tnt  in  John  the:  jfcme,  of  the  Evangelist  and  number,  of  the  chapter  are  at  the  head  of 
each  page.  Each  yerse  fdrms  a  distinct  paragraph  until  we  come  to  Luke  XV.  (verso  of 
X") ;  oetweeia:th$t  ftn  J  th-3  end  of  the  Gospel,  more  than  one,  sometimes  six  verses  are 
crowded  occasionally  into  a  paragraph,  in  order  apparently  to  close  that  gospel  and 
sig.  L  at  the  same  time.  The  same  crowding  occurs  again  at  the  close  of  John.  The 
4th  and  14th  numbers  to  the  chapters  throughout  this  volume  are  generally,  though 
printed  IIII,  not  invariably,  XIIII. 

On  comparing  this  Translation  with  the  edition  of  1680,  we  find  a  number  of  omis 
sions  in  the  text.     These,  with  other  errors,  are  noted  in  the  following  table  of

A  writer  in  1  Mass.  Hist.  Coll.  VIII.  34,  states  that  1  Cor.  15:31,  as  here  translated, 
countenances  swearing  by  a  creature.  On  comparing  the  text  with  Hosea  4:2,  and, 
Mat.  5:34,  36,  it  is  observed  that  the  word  "  protest"  in  that  passage,  is  rendered  into 
Indian  by  the  same  verb  as  "  swear,"  in  the  last  mentioned  texts. 

In  the  running  titles  of  the  Books,  Mark  is  printed  "  Marke  "  on  the  verso  of 
E2,  E3  and  E*  ;  John  is  printed  "lohn"  above  chapters  3,  19  and  20;  the  recto 
of  LI3  is  II  Corinthians,  instead  of  Chap.  1 ;  and  on  the  3d  page  of  Rev.  the  word  is 
"  Revelations." 

Mr.  ELIOT,  pastor  of  Roxbury,  Mass.,  commenced  at  the  age  of  forty-two,  the  study 
of  the  Natick  Indian  dialect,  in  which  this  work  is  printed.  In  1649,  having  made 
some  proficiency,  he  expressed  a  desire  to  translate  a  portion  of  the  Scriptures  into 
that  language*  for  the  use  of  the  Indians  to  whom  he  acted  as  a  Missionary,  and 
with  the  aid  of  an  Indian,  completed  the  translation  of  the  entire  Bible,  including  the 
Old  and  New  Testament,  in  1658,  after  a  labor  of  eight  years.  This  fact  having  been 
communicated  to  the  Corporation  established  in  London  for  the  propagation  of  the 
Gospel  among  the  Indians  of  New  England,!  that  body  expressed  themselves,  in  a 
letter  dated  7th  May,  1659,  on  the  subject  of  printing  the  work,  in  the  following  terms  : 
"As  to  the  printing  of  the  Bible  in  the  Indian  language ;  mensioned  in  Mr.  Endicott's

t  See  GOT.  Endicott's  letter  to  tbe  Corporation,  dated  Boston  28  Dec.,  1658,  in  a  very  rare  Tract,  entitled  : 
"A  further  Accompt  of  the  Progresse  of  the  Gospel  amongst  the  Indians  in  New  England,  and  of  the  means 
used  effectually  to  advance  the  same.  Set  forth  In  certaine  Letters  sent  from  thence  declaring  a  purpose  of

conceuie  will  not  onely  be  acceptable  vnto  god  ;  but  uery  profitable  to  the  poor  heathen 
and  will  much  tend  to  the  promotion  of  the  sperituall  part  of  this  worke  amongst 
them ;  and  therfor  wee  offer  it  not  onely  as  our  owne  but  as  the  judgment  of  others 
that  the  New  Testament  bee  first  printed  in  the  Indian  language."*  The  printing 
of  that  part  was  accordingly  commenced  by  Samuel  Green,  of  Cambridge,  the  same 
year,  when  a  printed  sheet  was  sent  to  England  as  a  specimen  of  the  work. 

Writing  in  April,  1660,  the  Corporation  add:  "We  haue  out  of  our  desire  to 
further  a  worke  of  soe  great  consernment  hauing  hopes  that  somthinge  wilbee  col 
lected  in  particulare  with  Relation  to  the  printing  of  the  ould  Testament,  agreed  with 
an  able  Printer  for  three  years. "t  Marmaduke  Johnson  accordingly  arrived  in  this 
country  to  superintend  the  printing,  and  possibly  his  arrival  subsequent  to  the  com 
mencement  of  the  work  by  Green,  may  account  for  the  Gospel  of  John  beginning  with 
Aa ;  for  the  crowding  observed  in  the  latter  part  of  Luke,  and  for  the  arrangement  of  the 
running  title  of  John  being  different  from  that  of  the  preceding  part  of  the  work.  Be 
this  as  it  may,  this  translation  of  the  New  Testament  was,  in  the  words  of  Gookin, 
"  finished,  printed  and  set  forth  "  on  the  5th  September,  1661.  J  The  edition  was,  at 
first,  to  consist  of  1000,  but  the  Corporation  recommended  that  it  should  be  1500 
copies.  Twenty  of  these  were  ordered  to  be  sent  to  England  ;  whereof  one  was  to 
be  presented  "  well  bound  vp,"  to  the  King;  one  to  the  Earl  of  Clarendon,  then  lord 
Chancellor,  and  one  to  each  of  the  Vice  Chancellors  of  the  Universities,  "  whoe  have 
greatly  Incurraged  the  worke ;  "§  and  "it  is  our  desires,"  add  the  Commissioners, 
"  that  you  will  take  care  for  the  printing  of  the  preface  before  the  New  Testament  with 
the  title  according  to  the  coppies,  as  alsoe  to  send  to  Mr.  ashurst  and  Mr.  huchenson 
about  twenty  coppies  of  the  New  Testament  to  be«  disposed  of  according  to  our  direc 
tions  and  order.  ||  The  expence  of  "  printing  the  title  sheet  to  the  New  Testament " 
was  £1.00.00;  IT  the  "preface"  consisted  of  an  "Epistle  Dedicatory  "  to  his  Majesty, 
and  was  in  these  words : 


To  The  High  and  Mighty  PRINCE,  CHARLES  the  SECOND,  by  the  Grace  of  God 
King  of  England,  Scotland,  France  and  Ireland,  Defender  of  the  Faith,  £5V.

and  there  is  no  allusion  to  the  Psalms  in  the  order  to  Mr.  Usher,  directing  the  transmission  of  copies  of  the

natural  born  Subjects,  by  the  Favour  and  Grant  of  Your  Royal  Father  and  Grandfather  of 
Famous  Memory,  put  themfelves  upon  this  great  and  hazardous  Undertaking,  of  Planting 
themfelves  at  their  own  Charge  in  thefe  remote  ends  of  the  Earth,  that  without  offence 
or  provocation  to  our  dear  Brethren  and  Countrymen,  we  might  enjoy  that  liberty  to  WorShip 
God,  which  our  own  Confcience  informed  us,  was  not  onely  our  Right,  but  Duty  :  As  alfo  that 
we  might  (if  it  fo  pleafed  God)  be  inftrumental  to  fpread  the  light  of  the  Gofpel,  the  knowledg 
of  the  Son  of  God  our  Saviour,  to  the  poor  barbarous  Heathen,  which  by  His  late  Majefty,  in 
fome  of  our  Patents,  is  declared  to  be  His  principal  aim. 

Thefe  honeft  and  pious  Intentions,  have,  through  the  grace  and  goodnefs  of  God  and  our 
Kings,  been  feconded  with  proportionable  fuccefs  :  for,  omitting  the  Immunities  indulged  us  by 
Your  Highnefs  Royal  Predeceflbrs,  we  have  been  greatly  incouraged  by  Your  Majefties  gracious 
expreffions  of  Favour  and  Approbation  fignified,  unto  the  Address  made  by  the  principal  of  our 
Colonies,  to  which  the  reft  do  moft  cordially  Subfcribe,  though  wanting  the  like  feafonable  op 
portunity,  they  have  been  (till  now)  deprived  of  the  means  to  Congratulate  Your  Majefties 
happy  Reftitution,  after  Your  long  Suffering,  which  we  implore  may  yet  be  gracioufly  accepted, 
that  we  may  be  equal  partakers  of  Your  Royal  Favour  and  Moderation ;  which  hath  been  fo 
Illuftrious  that  (to  admiration)  the  Animofities  and  different  Perfwafions  of  men  have  been  fo 
foon  Compofed,  and  fo  much  caufe  of  hope,  that  (unlefs  the  fins  of  the  Nation  prevent)  a  bleffed 
Calm  will  fucceed  the  late  horrid  Confufions  of  Church  and  State-  And  Shall  not  we  (Dread 
So-vcraign)  your  Subjects  of  thefe  Colonies,  of  the  fame  Faith  and  Belief  in  all  Points  of  Doc 
trine  with  our  Countrymen,  and  the  other  Reformed  Churches,  (though  perhaps  not  alike 
perfwaded  in  fome  matters  of  Order,  which  in  outward  refpedts  hath  been  .unhappy  for  us)  pro- 
mife  and  affure  our  felves  of  all  juft  favour  and  indulgence  from  a  Prince  fo  happily  and  gracioufly 
endowed  ? 

The  other  part  of  our  Errand  hither,  hath  been  attended  with  Endevours  and  Blefling  ;  many 
of  the  wilde  Indians  being  taught,  and  underftanding  the  Doctrine  of  the  Chriftian  Religion,  and 
with  much  affection  attending  fuch  Preachers  as  are  fent  to  teach  them,  many  of  their  Children 
are  inftructed  to  Write  and  Reade,  and  fome  of  them  have  proceeded  further,  to  attain  the 
knowledge  of  the  Latine  and  Greek  Tongues,  and  are  brought  up  with  our  English  youth  in 
Univerfity-learning  :  There  are  divers  of  them  that  can  and  do  reade  fome  parts  of  the  Scrip 
ture,  and  fome  Catechifms,  which  formerly  have  been  Translated  into  their  own  Language 
which  hath  occasioned  the  undertaking  of  a  greater  Work,  vix :  The  Printing  of  the  whole 
Bible,  which  (being  Tranflated  by  a  painful  Labourer  amongft  them,  who  was  defirous  to  fee  the 
Work  accomplished  in  his  dayes)  hath  already  proceeded  to  the  finishing  of  the  New  Teftament, 
which  we  here  humbly  prefent  to  Your  Majefty,  as  the  firft  fruits  and  accomplishment  of  the 
Pious  DeSign  of  your  Royal  Anceftors.  The  Old  Teftament  is  now  under  the  Prefs,  wanting 
and  craving  your  Royal  Favour  and  Afsiftance  for  the  perfecting  thereof. 

We  may  not  conceal,  that  though  this  Work  hath  been  begun  and  profecuted  by  fuch  Inftru- 
ments  as  God  hath  raifed  up  here,  yet  the  chief  Charge  and  Coft,  which  hath  fupported  and 
carried  it  thus  far,  hath  been  from  the  Charity  and  Piety  of  divers  of  our  well-affected  Country 
men  in  England ;  who  being  fenfible  of  our  inability  in  that  refpect,  and  Studious  to  promote  fo 
good  a  Work,  contributed  large  Sums  of  Money,  which  were  to  be  improved  according  to  the 
Direction  and  Order  of  the  then-prevailing  Powers,  which  hath  been  faithfully  and  religioufly 
attended  both  there  and  here,  according  to  the  pious  intentions  of  the  Benefactors.  And  we  do 
moft  humbly  befeech  your  Majefty,  that  a  matter  of  fo  much  Devotion  and  Piety,  tending  fo 
much  to  the  Honour  of  God,  may  Suffer  no  difappointment  through  any  Legal  Defect  (without

It  is  the  first  edition  of  the  Bible  published  in  this  country.  The  very  sight  of  it 
caused  the  quaint  Cotton  Mather  enthusiastically  to  exclaim  :  "  Behold,  ye  Americans,

ever  was  printed  in  all  America,  from  the  very  foundation  of  the  World."

Text :  (same  as  described  under  1661),  followed  by  Psalms  in  Indian  Metre  and  Cate

With  the  exceptions  of  the  first  title  page  and  Dedication,  and  the  absence  of  the 
"  Star  "  on  the  title  to  the  New  Testament,  this  volume  is  the  same  as  No.  1  of  this 
year.  The  errors  already  noted  in  the  Old  and  New  Testaments,  are  continued,  but 
those  in  the  running  titles  to  Luke  .XXI  and  XXIV,  having  been  discovered  whilst  the 
work  was  passing  through  the  press,  are  here  corrected.  In  working  off  the  form, 
however,  after  making  these  corrections,  the  last  letter  of  the  catchword,  "  waabeh," 
at  Luke  XXI,  was  shoved  out  into  the  margin  and  the  word  is  printed  "  waabe  h  " 
on  recto  of  L2  in  this  copy.  Hence  the  curious  bibliographer  will  understand  that, 
irrespective  of  the  difference  in  the  title  pages,  there  are  two  varieties  of  Eliot's  Indian 
Testament  of  1661 :  One,  with  the  running  titles  to  Luke  XXI  and  XXIV  incorrect, 
and  the  catchword  on  L2  correct ;  the  other,  vice  versa.  In  the  copies  before  us,  the 
former  variety  has  the  "  Star"  on  the  title  page. 

In  connection  with  this  subject,  it  is  proper  to  bear  in  mind  that  there  are  copies  of 
this  Bible  which  vary  from  our  present  description  in  some  particulars.  In  the  vol 
umes  before  us,  the  New  Testament  with  the  "  Star"  on  the  title  page,  accompanies 
the  Old  Testament  with  the  Indian  Title  only,  and  no  Dedication  (supra  No.  1,  1663)  ; 
whilst  there  is  no  "  Star"  on  the  title  page  to  the  New  Testament  of  the  copy  having 
the  first  title  in  English,  and  the  Dedication,  or  (as  it  may  be  designated,)  the  "  Royal " 
copy  of  the  Eliot  Bible.  On  the  other  hand,  in  the  "  Royal "  copy  belonging  to  JOHN 
ALLAN,  Esq.,  of  New  York,  the  Bible  with  an  English  Title  and  Dedication,  is  accom 
panied  by  the  New  Testament  with  the  "Star"  title  page.  Again,  the  copy  in  the 
Library  of  the  Brown  University,  R.  I.,  differs  from  all  these.  It  has  the  general  title 
in  English,  (No.  2,  1663.)  then  the  Dedication,  and  following  that,  the  Indian  title 
page  (No.  1,  1663).  What  other  varieties  the  binder  has  manufactured  we  know  not.

10  AMERICAN  BIBLES.  [1663— 

It  has  been  already  stated  that  Mr.  ELIOT  completed  the  immense  labor  of  translating 
this  Bible  in  1658,  but  the  printing  of  the  Old  Testament  was  not  commenced  until 
1660.  In  September  of  that  year,  a  sheet  of  Genesis  was  transmitted  to  England. 
"  The  printers  doubt  not  but  to  print  a  sheet  every  weeke,  and  compute  the  whole  to 
amount  to  a  hundred  and  fifty  sheets."*  In  September,  1661,  the  five  books  of 
Moses  were  printed  ;t  in  September,  1662,  the  work  was  about  half  done,}:  and  com 
pleted  in  September,  1663.$  Three  years  were  thus  occupied  in  the  publication  of  the 
Old  Testament.  The  Corporation  had  already  ordered  in  April,  1663,  "that  the 
Psalmes  of  David,  in  meter,  shalbee  printed  in  the  Indian  language."  On  the  18th, 
Sept.,  following,  twenty  copies  of  the  Bible  were  ordered  to  be  sent  to  England,  "  and 
as  many  of  the  Psalmes,  if  printed  of  before  the  shippes  departure  from  hence."  The 
edition,  including  the  Psalm  books,  consisted  of  upwards  of  1000  copies.ll  Three 
hundred  and  sixty-eight  reams  of  paper  were  used  in  printing  the  Bible  ;  the  expence 
ranged  from  sixty  to  seventy  shillings  sterling  a  sheet.  The  cost  of  printing  the  Psalms 
was  forty  shillings  a  sheet,  or  £26,  in  the  whole ;  of  printing  the  "  Epistle  dedicatory  " 
to  the  Bible,  £1,  and  of  "  binding  and  clasping,"  two  shillings  and  sixpence  per 
copy. IT  JOHN  RATLIFE,  the  book -binder,  objected  to  this  low  price,  and  avowed  in  a 
petition  to  the  Commissioners,  "that  under  3s.  4d.  or  3s.  6d.  per  book,"  he  could  not 
bind  them  and  live  comfortably,  "  one  Bible  being  as  much  as  he  could  compleat  in 
one  day  "  and  find  the  materials.** 

When  completed,  twenty  copies  were  ordered  to  be  sent  to  the  Corporation  in 
England,  with  the  following  "  Epistle  Dedicatory  :" 


To  the  High  and  Mighty  PRINCE,  CHARLES  the  SECOND,  by  the  Grace  of  God,

S  our  former  Prefentation  of  the  New-Teftament  was  Gracioufly  Accept 
ed  by  Your  Majefty ;  fo  with  all  Humble  Thankfulnefs  for  that  Royal 
Favour,  and  with  the  like  hope,  We  are  bold  now  to  Prefent  the 
WHOLE  BIBLE,  Tranflated  into  the  Language  of  the  Natives 
of  this  Country,  by  A  Painful  Labourer  in  that  Work,  and  now  Printed 
and  Finijhed,  by  means  of  the  Pious  Beneficence  of  Your  Majefties 
Subjects  in  England :  which  alfo  by  Your  Special  Favour  hath  been 
Continued,  and  Confirmed  to  the  intended  Ufe  and  Advancement  of  fo 
Great  and  Good  a  Work,  as  is  the  Propagation  of  the  Gofpel  to  thcfe  poor  Barbarians  in  this 
(Ere-while)  Unknown  World. 

Tranflations  of  Holy  Scripture,  The  Word  of  the  King  of  Kings,  have  ever  been  deemed  not 
unworthy  of  the  moft  Princely  Dedications  :  Examples  whereof  are  extant  in  divers  Languages. 
But  Your  Majefty  is  the  Firft  that  hath  Received  one  in  this  Language,  or  from  this  American 
World,  or  from  any  Parts  fo  Remote  from  Europe  as  thefe.  are,  for  ought  that  ever  we

the  Greateft  Princes  have  Honoured  themfelves  by.  But  to  Publifh  and  Communicate  the  fame 
to  a  Loft  People,  as  remote  from  Knowledge  and  Civility,  much  more  from  Chriftianity,  as  they 
were  from  all  Knowing,  Civil  and  Chriftian  Nations  ;  a  People  without  Law,  without  Letters, 
without  Riches,  or  Means  to  procure  any  fuch  thing;  a  People  that  fate  as  deep  in  Darknefs,  and 
in  the  Jbado-w  of  Death,  as  (we  think)  any  fince  the  Creation  :  This  puts  a  Luftre  upon  it  that 
is  Superlative  ;  and  to  have  given  Royal  Patronage  and  Countenance  to  fuch  a  Publication,  or  to 
the  Means  thereof,  will  ftand  among  the  Marks  of  Lafting  Honour  in  the  eyes  of  all  that  are 
Confiderate,  even  unto  After-Generations. 

And  though  there  be  in  this  Weftern  World  many  Colonies  of  other  Europasan  Nations,  yet 
we  humbly  conceive,  no  Prince  hath  had  a  Return  of  fuch  a  Work  as  'this ;  which  may  be 
fome  Token  of  the  Succefs  of  Your  Majefties  Plantation  of  New-England,  Undertaken  and 
Setled  under  the  Encouragement  and  Security  of  Grants  from  Your  Royal  Father  and  Grand 
father,  of  Famous  Memory,  and  Cherifhed  with  late  Gracious  Afpefts  from  Your  Majefty. 
Though  indeed,  the  prefent  Poverty  of  thefe  Plantations  could  not  have  Accompliftied  this 
Work,  had  not  the  forementioned  Bounty  of  England  lent  Relief;  Nor  could  that  have  Con 
tinued  to  ftand  us  in  ftead,  without  the  Influence  of  Your  Royal  Favour  and  Authority,  whereby 
the  Corporation  there,  For  Propagating  the  Gofpel  among  thefe  Natives,  hath  been  Eftabliflied 
and  Encouraged  (whofe  Labour  of  Love,  Care,  and  Faithfulnefs  in  that  Triift,  muft  ever  be 
remembred  with  Honour.)  Yea,  when  private  perfons,  for  their  private  Ends,  have  of  late 
fought  Advantages  to  deprive  the  faid  Corporation  of  Half  the  Pofleffions  that  had  been,  by 
Liberal  Contributions,  obtained  for  fo  Religious  Ends  ;  We  underftand,  That  by  an  Honourable 
and  Righteous  Decifion  in  Your  Majefties  Court  of  Chancery,  their  Hopes  have  been  defeated, 
and  the  Thing  Settled  where  it  was  and  is.  For  which  great  Favour,  and  Illuftrious  Fruit  of 
Your  Majefties  Government,  we  cannot  but  return  our  moft  Humble  Thanks  in  this  Publick 
Manner  :  And,  as  the  Refult  of  the  joynt  Endeavours  of  Your  Majefties  Subjects  there  and 
here,  afting  under  Your  Royal  Influence,  We  Prefent  You  with  this  Work,  which  upon  fundry 
accounts  is  to  be  called  Tours. 

The  Southern  Colonies  of  the  Spanifh  Nation  have  fent  home  from  this  American  Continent, 
much  Gold  and  Silver,  as  the  Fruit  and  End  of  their  Difcoveries  and  Tranfplantations  :  That 
(we  confefs)  is  a  fcarce  Commodity  in  this  Colder  Climate.  But  (futable  to  the  Ends  of  our 
Undertaking)  we  Prefent  this,  and  other  Concomitant  Fruits  of  our  poor  Endeavours  to  Plant 
and  Propagate  the  Gofpel  here  ;  which,  upon  a  true  account,  is  as  much  better  than  Gold,  a: 
the  Souls  of  men  are  more  worth  then  the  whole  World.  This  is  a  Nobler  Fruit  (and  indeed 
in  the  Counfels  of  All-'difpofing  Providence,  was  an  higher  intended  End)  of  Columbus  his  Ad 
venture.  And  though  by  his  Brother's  being  hindred  from  a  feafonable  Application,  your 
Famous  Predeceffour  and  Anceftor,  King  Henry  the  Seventh,  mifled  of  being  fole  Owner  of  that 
firft  Difcovery,  and  of  the  Riches  thereof;  yet,  if  the  Honour  of  firft  Difcovering  the  True  and 
Saving  Knowledge  of  the  Gofpel  unto  the  poor  Americans,  and  of  Erecting  the  Kingdome  of 
JESVS  CHRIST  among  them,  be  Referved  for,  and  do  Redound  unto  your  Majefty, 
and  the  Englifh  Nation,  After-ages  will  not  reckon  this  Inferiour  to  the  other.  Religion  is  the 
End  and  Glory  of  Mankinde  :  and  as  it  was  the  Profeffed  End  of  this  Plantation  ;  fo  we  defire 
ever  to  keep  it  in  our  Eye  as  our  main  Defign  (both  as  to  our  felves,  and  the  Natives  about  us) 
and  that  our  Produces  may  be  anfwerable  thereunto.  Give  us  therefore  leave  (Dread  Soveraign) 
yet  again  humbly  to  Beg  the  Continuance  of  your  Royal  Favour,  and  of  the  Influences  thereof, 
upon  this  poor  Plantation,  The  Vnited  Colonies  of  N  E  W-E  N  G  L  A  N  D,  for  the  Securing  and 
Eftablifhment  of  our  Civil  Priviledges,  and  Religious  Liberties  hitherto  Enjoyed  ;  and,  upon  this 
Good  Work  of  Propagating  Religion  to  thefe  Natives,  that  the  Supports  and  Encouragements

The  .size  of  the  printed  page  {including  running  title,  catchword  and  marginal 
references)  is  6|  in.  by  4|  inches  full.  The  volume  consists  of  607  leaves ;  viz  :  Old 
Test.  424  ff, ;  List  of  Books  1  f. ;  New  Testament  129  ff. ;  Psalms  50  ff.  ;  Catechism 
1  f.  and  titles  2  ff.  Genesis,  Matthew  and  the  Psalms  commence  each  with  an  orna 
mental  initial  letter  ;  that  to  Mat.  is  the  same  as  in  the  first  editions  ;  but  Genesis  and 
Psalms  have  a  small  Roman  capital  in  what  the  French  call  an  ornamented  passe  par- 
tout.  There  are  Italic  headings  to  the  chapters  (except  a  few  of  Proverbs  and  some 
others  mentioned  below),  and  to  the  columns  of  text ;  the  former  being  in  English 
and  the  latter  in  Indian.  The  marginal  references  are  in  English  and  also  in  Italic  ; 
the  names  of  the  Books  and  numbers  of  the  Chapters  are  in  Roman  on  the  verso  and 
recto  of  each  leaf. 

The  omissions  in  the  text,  and  the  other  errors  noted  in  the  first  edition  of  the  New 
Testament,  and  of  the  Bible,  are  rectified  in  this  edition,  to  the  revision  of  which 
the  Rev.  John  Cotton  of  Plymouth  greatly  contributed.  But  the  press  was,  not 
withstanding,  corrected  in  a  somewhat  careless  manner,  as  is  demonstrated  by  the

NOTE.  This  edition  contains  2  versions 
of  the  100th,  130th,  131st,  133d,  134th, 
and  150th  Psalms.  The  1st  Psalm  only 
is  headed  in  full  "  Psalm  "  —  all  the  rest 
"  Psal."  The  running  titles  are  very 
incorrect. 


The  proposition  to  print  this  second  edition  was  submitted  by  Mr.  ELIOT  to  the  Com 
missioners  of  the  New  England  Colonies  on  the  20th  March,  1678-9  ;  but  after  some 
debate,  it  was  judged  most  expedient  to  refer  the  determination  of  the  matter  to  the 
next  meeting.*  The  printing  was  commenced,  we  presume,  the  following  year,  and,  as 
in  the  instance  of  the  first  edition,  with  the  New  Testament ;  for  we  find  Mr.  Eliot 
informing  Mr.  Boyle,  Nov.  4,  1680,  that  they  were  on  the  19th  chap,  of  the  Acts, 
and  he  intended,  when  they  had  "impressed  the  New  Testament,"  to  proceed  with 

*  Hazard's  State  Papers,  II,  539,  540. 


—1685]  AMERICAN  BIBLES.  17 

the  "  preparing  and  impressing  the  Old."  *  The  progress  of  the  work  seems,  however, 
to  have  been  slow.  Writing  in  March  168|  Mr.  Eliot  says  :  We  have  but  one  man  (viz. 
the  Indian  printer)  that  is  able  to  compose  the  sheets,  and  correct  the  press,  with 
understanding.  One  tenth  part  or  near  of  the  Bible  work  is  done.  We  are 
in  Leviticus.  On  the  22d  April,  1684,  he  again  writes  :  We  have  but  few  hands,  one 
Englishman  and  a  boy  and  one  Indian,  t  The  work  was  completed  in  October  of  the 
following  year.  The  edition  was  2000. 

Prince's  copy  of  this  Bible,  in  the  New  England  Library,  has  on  the  second  leaf  the 
following  Dedication,  to  which  public  attention  has  already  been  directed  by  GEO. 
LIVEKMORE,  Esq.,  of  Boston,  who  has  had  it  printed  in  facsimile.

Though  the  purpose  for  which  this  Translation  was  originally  undertaken  has  failed, 
and  the  immediate  expectations  of  its  patrons  have  been  disappointed,  the  labors  of 
the  pious  Missionary  have  answered  an  important  end  which  he,  perhaps,  never  anti 
cipated.  In  connection  with  his  Grammar,  this  rare  volume  affords  invaluable  aid 
in  the  study  of  Indian  philology  ;  and  furnishes  the  means  of  acquiring  an  insight 
into  the  structure  and  character  of  the  Algonquin  language,  which  otherwise  would 
have  been  forever  lost  to  the  learned,  J  It  is,  says  Duponceau,  "  a  rich  and

valuable  mine ;  a  complete  grammar  and  dictionary  might,  with  labor  and  per 
severance,  be  extracted  from  it ;  for  there  is  hardly  a  mode  or  figure  of  speech,  which 
is  not  to  be  found  somewhere  in  the  sacred  writings.  Every  copy  of  it,  that  is  yet 
extant,  ought  to  be  preserved  with  the  greatest  care,  as  it  is  hardly  to  be  hoped  that  it

I.  A  proper  Notice  taken  of  those  Instances,  wherein  the  most  Polite  and  Pious 
Masters  in  Philology,  have  expressed  their  wishes  to  see  the  Common  Translation 
Amended  and  Refined.  II.  A  Rich  Collection  of  ANTIQUITIES,  which  the  studious 
Researches  of  Inquisitive  and  Judicious  Men  in  the  later  Ages,  have  recovered  ;  for 
a  sweet  Reflection  of  Light  from  thence  upon  the  Heavenly  Oracles  ,•  Especially  those 
wherein  the  Idolatry,  the  Occonomicks,  the  Politicks,  the  Agriculture,  the  Architecture ,

interpreted  ;  and  the  Original  and  Intention  thereof,  rescued  from  the  Mis-interpreta 
tions,  that  some  famous  writers  have  put  upon  them.  With  a  particular  History  of 
the  City  JERUSALEM,  under  its  wondrous  Vicissitudes,  from  the  days  of  Melchizedeck, 
down  to  Ours  ;  and  a  Relation  of  the  present  &  wretched  Condition,  in  which  it  waits, 
the  Time  to  favour  the  set  Time  to  come  on.  IV.  The  TYPES  of  the  Bible,  accommodated 
with  their  Antitypes  .•  And  this  Glorious  Book  of  God,  now  appearing  a  Field,  that 
yields  a  marvellous  Mixture  of  Holy  Profit  and  Pleasure,  in  those  Paragraphs  of  it, 
which  have  sometimes  appeared  the  least  Fruitful  with  Instruction.  V.  Golden 
Treasures,  and  more  to  be  desired  than  such,  fetch'd  out  of  those  very  unpromising 
Heaps,  the  TALMUDS,  and  other  Jewish  Writings,-  not  only  to  illustrate  the  Oraclet 
once  committed  unto  the  distinguished  Nation  /  but  also  to  demonstrate  the  Truths  of 
Christianity.  VI.  NATURAL  PHILOSOPHY  call'd  in  to  serve  Scriptural  Religion.  The 
fairest  Hypotheses  of  those  Grand  Revolutions,  the  Making,  the  Drowning,  and  the 
Burning  of  the  WORLD,  offered.  The  Astronomical  Affairs,  the  Meteors,  the  Minerals, 
the  Vegetables,  the  Animals,  the  Diseases,  the  Anatomical  Curiosities,  and  what  relates 
to  the  Invisible  World  of  Good  or  Evil  Spirits,  mention'd  in  these  immortal  Pages, 
represented  with  the  Best  Thoughts  of  our  Times  upon  them.  To  all  which  there  is 
added,  The  Christian  Virtuoso,  with  a  Commentary  of  the  more  Modern  and  Certain 
Philosophy  on,  His  Work  which  men  behold ;  Embellished  with  the  Discoveries  which 
our  Days  at  Length  have  made  of  Things  wherein  the  Glorious  GOD  of  Nature  calls  for 
our  Wonders  &  our  Praises.  VII.  The  CHRONOLOGY  of  this  admirable  Book,  every 
where  cleared,  from  all  its  Difficulties ;  and  the  Clock  of  Time  set  right,  in  its  whole 
motion,  from  the  Beginning  which  He  that  Inhabits  Eternity  gave  unto  it.  Besides 
the  most  Accurate  Harmony  of  the  Gospel,  that  has  yet  been  offered  among  them 
that  know  the  Joyful  Sound.  VIII.  The  GEOGRAPHY  of  it  Surveyed,-  The  Scituation

from  the  Birth  of  our  great  REDEEMER  to  this  very  Day:  And  the  present  Condition 
of  that  Nation,  the  Reliques  of  the  Ten,  as  well  as  of  the  Two  Tribes  (and  of  their 
Ancient  Sects,)  yet  existing  in  the  several  parts  of  the  World,  where  they  are  now 
dispersed,  at  this  Time,  when  their  approaching  Recovery  from  their  sad  and  long 
Dispersion  is  hoped  for.  X.  The  HISTORIES  of  all  Ages,  brought  in,  to  show  how 
the  Prophecies  of  this  Invaluable  Book,  have  had  their  most  punctual  Accomplish 
ment,  and  strongly  established  Conjectures,  (yet  made  with  all  due  Modesty,)  on  such 
as  yet  remain  to  be  accomplished:  In  the  prosecution  whereof,  the  Reader  finds  an  entire 
Body  of  Church- History,  brought  into  his  Possession.  XI.  The  true  Doctrine  of  the 
CHILIAD,  which  more  opens  &  breaks  in  upon  the  more  considerate  Enquirers,  as 
the  Day  approaches,  brought  in  as  a  Key  to  very  much  of  the  Wealth,  which  the 
Church  of  GOD  enjoys  in  this  Book  of  the  Kingdom.  Whereto  are  added,  the  most 
unexceptionable  Thoughts  of  the  ablest  Writers  on  the  Apocalypse  ,•  defecated  from 
the  more  Arbitrary  and  less  Defensible  Conceits,  of  overdoing  Students  in  the  Pro 
phecies.  XII.  Some  Essays  to  Illustrate  the  Scriptures  from  EXPERIMENTAL  PIETY,  or 
the  Observations  of  Christian  Experience.  With  many  of  the  Excellent  Things, 
observed  in  and  extracted  from  the  Holy  Scriptures  that  make  Wise  unto  Salvation, 
especially  by  the  North-British  Expositors,  who  with  a  penetrating  and  peculiar 
Search  after  Hints  for  Christian  Practice,  have  been  found  worthy  to  Open  many 
Books  of  the  Bible.  And  many  Thousands  of  curious  Notes,  found  scattered  and 
shining,  in  the  Writings  both  of  the  Ancients  and  the  Moderns,  laid  here  together, 
in  a  grateful  Amassment  of  them. 

All  done  with  a  most  Religious  &  Inviolate  and  Perpetual  Regard  unto  the  Principles 
of  Religion,  which  are  the  Life  of  the  Reformed  Churches. 

By  the  Blessing  of  CHRIST  on  the  Labours  of  an  American.     In  Two  VOLUMES. 

In  1710,  the  Rev.  Cotton  Mather,  author  of  the  above  Work,  issued  Proposals  for 
its  publication.  These  proposals  are  to  be  found,  Mr.  LIVERMORE  informs  me,  at  the 
end  of  one  of  Mr.  Mather's  Tracts,  entitled,  Bonifacius,  or,  Essays  to  do  Good. 
Boston,  1710.  Not  meeting,  then,  with  the  desired  encouragement,  the  author 
turned  his  attention  again  to  the  subject  in  1713,  as  appears  by  his  Diary,  from  which 
S.  F.  HAVEN,  Esq.  of  New  Haven,  politely  furnishes  the  following  extract : 

"December.  It  seems  now  high  time  forme  to  come  into  action  &  do  what  my  hand 
finds  to  do  that  ye  Biblia  Americana  may  be  brought  forth  into  the  World.  Let  me 
therefore  publish  a  sheet  entitled  Jl  New  Offer  to  ye  Lovers  of  Religion  fy  Learning, 
therein  giving  an  account  of  the  work,  &  so  an  opportunity  for  subscriptions  towards 
ye  encouragement  of  it ;  and  not  only  spread  Copies  of  that  Offer  through  this 
country  but  also  send  them  to  Europe." 

Proposals  were  issued  a  third  time,  after  Mr.  Mather's  death,  in  1728,  but  no  printer 
could  be  found  to  hazard  the  undertaking ;  and  the  manuscript,  as  it  came  from  the 
author's  pen,  is  now  in  the  Library  of  the  Massachusetts  Historical  Society,  in  Six 
Volumes  Folio. 

The  title  page  above  printed  is  borrowed  from,  A  New  Offer  to  the  Lovers  of  Religion 
and  Learning,  a  copy  of  which  is  in  the  Library  of  the  American  Antiquarian  Society, 
Worcester,  Mass.

number  of  the  Chapters  on  the  page  and  brief  summary  of  the  contents.  The  text  is 
reprinted  from  the  34th  Halle  edition  of  Luther's  Bible,  more  than  100  errors  in  which 
were  corrected.  It  is  in  double  columns,  and  the  parallel  references  are  at  the  end 
of  their  respective  verses.  The  signature  letters  to  the  Old  Testament  are  in  German, 
to  the  New  Testament  in  Roman,  characters.  The  covers  of  the  Volume  are  wood 
boards,  each  three-eighths  of  an  inch  thick,  covered  with  calf;  each  board  being 
further  protected  by  five  brass  rivets  and  two  clasps.  The  edition  consisted  of  about 
1000  copies,  and  the  price  of  the  Book  was  two  dollars  and  a  half. 

The  types  with  which  this  Volume  was  printed,  were  imported  from  Germany. 
Twelve  copies  of  the  Volume  were  in  return  sent  to  Europe.  Mr.  Lenox  saw,  in 
1856,  what  may  have  been  one  of  those  copies,  in  the  City  Library  of  Frankfort  on 
the  Main.  It  was  as  fresh  and  in  as  good  order  as  if  it  had  just  left  the  hands  of  the 
binder,  and  was  supposed  to  have  been  a  present  from  Saur  to  Hainrich  Ehrenfried 
Luther,  from  whom  he  had  received  or  purchased  the  type.  Mr.  Luther  presented  it 
to  the  above  library,  as  appears  from  an  inscription  pasted  on  the  inside  of  the  cover, 
and  which  is  in  these  words :

This  portion  of  the  Scriptures  accompanied  Proposals  issued  by  the  above  printer 
for  republishing  the  Rev.  Samuel  Clarke's  edition  of  the  Bible.  It  was  announced 
as  "  the  first  Undertaking  of  the  kind  EVER  attempted  in  America."  The  project  fell 
through  for  want  of  encouragement.

This  Bible  was  imported  probably  in  sheets  from  Germany,  where  the  first  title 
page  is  considered  also  to  have  been  printed  on  a  slip,  for  a  portion  of  the  edition  sent 
to  this  country.  It  will  be  observed  that  the  Imprint  announces  cautiously,  that  the 
book  is  "to  be  found,"  &c.

This  is  the  seventh  edition  of  Saur's  New  Test.  In  some  copies  the  preface  reads  as 
of  the  6th  edition,  but  this  was  corrected  on  being  discovered.  It  will  be  observed 
that  the  title  page  differs  from  those  of  the  previous  editions.

This  edition  consisted  of  3,000  copies.  The  revolutionary  war  broke  out  about  the 
time  it  was  issued,  and  after  the  battle  of  Germantown,  Saur,  to  preserve  the  residue 
of  his  property,  and  in  the  supposition  that  American  Independence  could  not  be 
maintained,  went  into  Philadelphia  and  resided  there  whilst  the  British  held  possession 
of  that  city.  His  estate  was  subsequently  confiscated  in  consequence,  and  his  books 
sold.  The  principal  part  of  this  third  edition  of  the  Germantown  Bible  in  sheets  was 
thus  destroyed,  having  been  used  for  cartridge  paper.  Thomas1  Hist.  Printing,  II,

which  appeared  Dec.  19,  1789.  About  twenty  sheets  were  issued  in  that  form,  when 
the  plan  seems  to  have  been  abandoned  and  the  work  was  finally  published  on  the 
1st  of  December,  1790.  The  types  for  tho  work  were  cast  in  the  foundry  of  John  Baine, 
Philadelphia.  The  text  is  reprinted  from  Challoner's  2d  edition  of  the  Bible,  1763-4,

1789,  when  Nos.  1  and  10  appeared  (E.  A.),  and  Penn.  Gaz.,  May  26,  1790,  which 
last  is  as  follows :

and  Complete  Family  Bible,  No.  77.  The  Old  and  New  Testaments  being  now  entirely

The  Apocrypha  will  soon  be  ready  for  delivery.  Agreeable  to  the  proposals  the  work

Previous  to  printing  this  edition  of  the  Scriptures,  Mr.  Thomas,  the  editor,  furnished 
himself  with  nearly  thirty  copies  of  the  Bible,  printed  at  different  times  and  places  ; 
from  these  he  selected  the  most  correct,  by  which  to  revise  the  whole  of  this  work. 
Every  sheet  of  the  text,  before  its  commitment  to  the  press,  was  carefully  examined 
by  the  clergymen  of  Worcester  [the  Rev.  Aaron  Bancroft,  D.  D.,  and  the  Rev.  Samuel 
Austin,  D.  D.],  and  by  other  capable  persons,  and  compared  with  not  less  than  eight 
different  copies.  Each  book  commences  with  an  ornamental  Initial  letter,  and  each 
Of  the  chapters  is  preceded  by  a  brief  abstract  of  its  contents. 

Other  copies  of  the  work  have  been  issued1  in  one  volume,  and  with  two  title  pages 
only,  one  to  the  Old  and  the  other  to  the  New  Testament,  and  without  any  directions 
to  the  binder  or  list  of  plates.

This  edition  was  issued  also  in  two  volumes,  and  differs  materially  in  its  typo 
graphical  composition  from  that  in  folio,  by  the  same  publisher.  Parallel  rules  divide 
the  columns  of  the  text,  which  are  embraced  on  the  outer  side  by  single  lines.  It  has, 
also,  marginal  notes  and  references,  "  all  examined  and  compared  with  the  Text  by 
the  Minister  of  Holden," — the  Rev.  Joseph  Avery — and  running  head-lines  of  contents 
at  the  head  of  the*"columns.  None  of  these  are  in  the  folio  edition.  On  the  other 
hand,  this  Quarto  wants  the  woodcuts  at  the  head  of  each  of  the  divisions  of  the 
Volume,  and  has  ornamental  Initial  letters  at  the  beginning  of  these  divisions  only, 
instead  of  each  book.  According  to  Isaiah  Thomas's  Catalogue  of  Books  for  Sale  at 
the  Worcester  Bookstore,  1801,  in  the  possession  of  Mr.  BRINLEY,  this  Bible  was  issued 
in  three  different  styles,  viz  :  with  48  copper  plates  and  Concordance  ;  without  plates

This  is  the  first  Bible  printed  in  New  Jersey.  Proposals  for  its  publication  were 
Issued  as  early  as  1788.  The  Dedication  to  King  James  is  omitted,  and  in  its  place  is 
printed  an  Address  "  To  the  Reader,"  by  Rev.  John  Witherspoon,  D.  D.  Some  copies 
have  Ostervald's  Practical  Comments  on  the  Books  of  the  Old  and  New  Testaments, 
with  separate  Title  page  :  Trenton  :  Isaac  Collins,  1791.  But  the  Baptist  Association 
having  objected  to  these  and  to  the  Apocrypha,  they  are  left  out  in  some  copies.  The 
work  is  sometimes,  met  in  two  volumes.

When  Thomas  published  his  8vo  Bible  in  1793,  he  announced  two  other  editions, 
viz :  "  One  in  Demy  Quarto,  the  other  in  Duodecimo,  or  the  Common  School  Bible, 
to  be  printed  on  the  beautiful  New  Types  cast  particularly  for  the  purpose."  The 
latter  was  not  issued  until  this  year.  It  is  called  "Thomas'  Standing  12mo  Edition," 
as  the  types  were  kept  undistributed,  or  "  standing,"  ready  for  the  press.  It  contains 
an  error  in  Acts,  6  :  3,  where  the  text  reads  :  "  whom  ye  may  appoint  over  this  busi 
ness."

originally  in  40  numbers,  commencing  June,  1796,  at  half  a  dollar  a  number.  Hence 
the  division  into  volumes  is  altogether  arbitrary.  The  text  is  from  the  Cambridge  ed. 
published  by  John  Baskerville,  and  is  without  notes  of  any  kind.  There  are  brief 
headings  to  each  chapter  The  work  is  accompanied  by  a  Frontispiece,  engraved  by

64  AMERICAN  BIBLES.  [1802— 

This  edition  is  not  an  exact  reprint  of  the  Thomas  8vo  Bible  of  1793,  though  there 
is  considerable  correspondence  in  the  Old  Testaments  of  both.  The  words,  "Together 
with  the  Apocrypha,"  follow  "The  Old  Testament"  on  the  title  page  to  the  latter,  and 
there  is  no  Imprint  at  the  "  End  of  the  Prophets."  The  New  Testament  seems  to 
have  been  originally  a  separate  book,  and  many  variations  or  modifications  are  observ 
able  in  the  typographical  composition.  The  Imprint  on  the  title  of  that  division  is  : 
Printed  at  Worcester,  Massachusetts,  by  Isaiah  Thomas,  Jun.  |  for  Isaiah  Thomas.  | 
Sold  by  him  in  Worcester.  Sold  also  by  said  Thomas  and  Andrews,  at  Faust's  |  Statue,

The  following  Errors  are  found  in  this  edition : 

The  last  line  of  2  Sam.  6 : 22  is  printed :  "  spok  en  of,  of  them  shall  I  behad  in 
honour."  1  Cor.  15  :42  reads,  "So  also  is  the  resurrection  of  the  dead.  It  is  sown 
in  corruption  ;  it  is  raised  in  corruption."  (S.  F.  H.)

This  Bible  is  evidently  made  up  of  odd  signatures  that  remained  over  from  other 
editions,  and  now  connected  by  reprinting  other  portions  of  the  text.  The  first  80  pp. 
are  from  the  edition  of  November  7th,  1803  ;  the  page  is  9|  by  6|  inches,  including  the 
catchword  but  exclusive  of  the  head  lines  and  marginal  references,  and  the  columns  are 
divided  by  double  or  parallel  rules;  the  next  sig.,  pp.  81-*92,  is  recomposed ;  the 
page  is  9  in.  in  length  by  6|  in  width,  and  the  matter  which  is  contained  in  a  little 
more  than  11 1  pp.  of  the  ed.  of  Nov.  7,  is  made  to  cover  12  pp.,  the  spacing  at  the 
heads  of  the  chapters  being  in  this,  wider  than  in  the  part  preceding  it.  From  p.  81 
(bis)  to  176,  agrees  exactly  with,  the  Carey  ed.  of  1802 ;  the  page  is  9f  X  6|  in. ;  the 
columns  are  separated  by  single  rules,  and  the  numerals  marking  the  pages  and  verses, 
which  are  in  small  pica  type  in  the  previous  part,  are  in  this  changed  to  type  the  face 
of  which  is  long  primer  on  a  small  pica  body.  From  p.  177-216,  the  numerals  are 
again  small  pica,  though  the  size  of  the  page  and  the  single  rule  between  the  columns 
are  continued.  From  p.  217  to  the  end  of  sig.  2F,  the  text  is  recomposed  ;  the  double 
or  parallel  rule  is  reintroduced  ;  the  length  of  the  page  varies  from  9  to  7£  in. ;  its 
width  is  6£  in.,  and  the  heads  of  the  chapters  are  "  blanked  out,"  so  that  the  matter, 
which  in  the  ed.  of  the  7th  Nov.,  fills  eight  pages,  is  here  spread  over  ten.  The  small 
pica  numerals  continue  from  p.  217  as  far  as  p.  297,  inc. ;  from  p.  297-308,  the  smaller 
numerals  are  again  used,  but  from  309  to  the  end  of  Malachi,  they  are  in  small  pica. 
From  p.  225  to  the  end  of  Mai.,  the  p.  is  9|  by  6|  in.,  and  the  columns  are  divided 
by  the  single  rule.

Errors:  Mat.  17:  18  reads,  "And  Jesus  rebuked  the  devil,  and....  the  child 
was  cured  from  that  very  four  (or  four)."  The  catchword  on  recto  of  C3  ,  is  "  3  " 
instead  of  "  7  "  ;  the  heading  to  recto  of  D7  ,  reads  :  How  we  muts  love  our  enemies,- 
Acts  8  :  9,  sorcery  is  printed,  "  sorcercy  "  ;  sig.  H2  is  marked,  2  H ;  the  catchword  to 
recto  of  H4  ,  is  "James,"  instead  of  "Jews";  II  Cor.,  7:8,  reads:  "for  I  perceive 
that  the  same  epistle  hath  made  you  sorry,  though  it  were  but  for  a  reason,"  instead 
of  "season  " ;  in  v.  11  of  the  same  chapter,  the  words,  "yea,  what  fear,"  are  omitted ; 
Philippians  4  :  15  reads  :  "  in  the  begginning,"  and  in  the  heading  to  the  last  column 
on  the  same  page,  the  word  "  bounty  "  is  left  out.  Besides  these  errors,  a  number  of 
catchwords  are  omitted. 

On  a  close  examination  of  the  volume,  it  appears  to  have  been  set  up  from  Hugh 
Gaine's  Testament  (supra,  p.  36;  No.  1,  1790),  with  which  it  agrees,  with  the  exception

He  (Charles  Thomson)  told  me  that  he  was  first  induced  to  study  Greek  from  having 
bought  a  part  of  the  Septuagint  at  an  auction  in  this  city  (Philadelphia).  He  had 
bought  it  for  a  mere  trifle,  and  without  knowing  what  it  was,  save  that  the  crier  said 
it  was  outlandish  letters.  When  he  had  mastered  it  enough  to  understand  it,  his 
anxiety  became  great  to  see  the  whole  ;  but  he  could  find  no  copy.  Strange  to  tell,  in 
the  interval  of  two  years,  passing  the  same  store,  and  chancing  to  look  in,  he  then 
saw  the  remainder  actually  crying  off  for  a  few  pence,  and  he  bought  it !  I  used  to 
tell  him  that  the  translation  which  he  afterwards  made  should  have  had  these  facts  set

The  type  is  entirely  new,  imported  at  a  heavy  expense,  and  the  paper  is  of  so  good  a 
quality  that  it  is  asserted  with  confidence  to  be  the  best  of  the  kind  offered  for  sale  in

was  set  up  in  Nonpareil,  small  12mo,  making,  I  believe,  68  forms  (34  sheets),  put  in 
chases,  corrected,  and  shipped  from  the  foundry  of  Wilson  and  Sons,  Glasgow,  to 
Hudson  and  Goodwin  at  a  cost,  as  I  have  understood,  of  6000  crowns  ......  The  type

J'ai  lu  attentivement,  et  compare  avec  la  Vulgate  cette  |  nouvelle  edition  du  Nou- 
veau  Testament,  imprimee  <k  Boston,  |  par  J.  T.  Buckingham.  Elle  est  fidele  ;  le

foi  Catholique,  Apostolique  et  Romaine. 

+JKAN  Evtque  de  Boston. 
Boston,  22  Dtcembre,  1810. 

The  Text  is  in  paragraphs,  without  notes,  but  with  an  introduction  to  each  book 
concluding  with  a  pious  aspiration. 

The  version  of  the  New  Testament  by  Le  Maistre  de  Sacy  and  others,  appeared  at 
Mons  in  1667,  but  was  condemned  as  containing  the  doctrines  of  the  Jansenists.  A 
corrected  edition  accordingly  appeared  the  same  year,  and  subsequent  editions  omitting 
or  correcting  the  censured  portions  were  well  received.  Le  Maistre  de  Sacy,  in  1672- 
95,  published  a  version  of  the  whole  Bible,  which  was  modified  subsequently  by 
Calmet  and  others.  His  edition  of  the  New  Testament  published  at  Paris  in  1759, 
with  approbation,  has  been  taken  as  a  standard  and  was  probably  followed  in  this,

although,  we  can  not  say  so  positively.  Having  been  compared  by  Bishop  CHEVERUS 
with  the  Vulgate  and  approved  by  him,  'tis  to  be  presumed  that  it  is  after  the  stand 
ard  edition. — See  further,  Dictionnaire  de  Bibliographic  Catholique,  Ch.  XI  and  XII.

F.  GOES,  the  printer,  was  a  clergyman.  He  established  a  small  printing  office,  and 
published  the  first  ed.  of  the  Bible  in  Western  Pennsylvania.  The  Preface,  the  Remarks 
prefixed  to  each  chapter  of  the  5  Books  of  Moses,  and  the  Commentary  to  the  Song 
of  {Solomon,  are  said  to  have  been  written  by  him.  There  are  no  comments  or  remarks 
on  the  Revelations,  though  announced  on  both  title  pages.

The  Hebrew  Bible,  or  Old  Testament,  contains  twenty-four  books,  which  are  divided 
into  three  classes  :  mm  Torah,  which  contains  the  five  books  of  Moses,  owaj  Neviim, 
which  is  again  divided  into  the  former  prophets,  which  comprehend  the  four  books 
called  Joshua,  Judges,  Samuel  and  Kings  ;  and  the  latter  prophets,  containing  likewise 
four  books,  namely,  Isaiah,  Jeremiah,  Ezekiel,  and  the  twelve  minor  prophets,  which 
are  considered  as  one  book,  aoiro  Kethuvim,  containing  eleven  books,  namely, 
Psalms,  Prov.,  Job,  Cant.,  Ruth,  Lam.,  Eccl.,  Esther,  Daniel,  Ezra,  Neh.  and  Chro. 
N.  B.  —  Ezra  and  Neh.  are  considered  as  one  book. 

In  1812  Mr.  Horwitz  had  proposed  the  publication  of  this  edition  of  the  Hebrew 
Bible,  the  first  proposal  of  the  kind  in  the  United  States  ;  early  in  1813  he  transferred 
his  right  and  list  of  subscribers  to  Mr.  Thos.  Dobson,  who  published,  soon  afterwards, 
the  1st  volume  ;  the  title  pages  and  preface  were  furnished  with  the  2d  vol.;  with  which 
they  are  bound  in  some  instances.

Isaac  le  Maistre  de  Sacy,  who  wrote  under  the  pseudonym  of  Sieur  de  Royaumont, 
But  as  he  had  in  some  of  his  reflections  "  studiously  flattered  his  friends  of  Port- 
Royal  "  (the  Jansenisls)  and  been  partially  severe  in  others  on  the  Dignitaries  of  the 
Church,  and  in  many  of  his  passages  had  given  such  a  turn  to  the  thought  and 
expression  of  the  Fathers,  as  was  more  calculated  to  support  an  enthusiastic  system 
of  Theology  than  to  promote  the  interest  of  piety,  an  alteration  was  therefore  judged 
expedient. ' ' — Preface.

About  1810,  Cheever  Felch,  afterwards  a  chaplain  in  the  U.  S.  Navy,  commenced 
setting  in  type  and  printing  at  Walpole,  N.  H.,  a  Bible  for  Mr.  Whipple,  Isaiah 
Thomas's  son-in-law.  It  was  of  octavo,  form,  on  Bourgeois  (English  or  Scotch)  type 
and  consisted  of  an  edition  of  8,000  copies,  on  coarse  paper.  Felch,  however,  prose 
cuted  the  work  no  farther  than  to  the  close  of  the  26th  chapter  of  Deuteronomy, 
when  it  was  suspended  till  about  the  year  1813.  The  composition  was  then  recom 
menced  by  Charles  Kendall,  who,  in  about  18  months  completed  the  work,  except  the 
Apocrypha,  which  was  set  lip  by  a  man  named  Brown. — Statement  furnished  by  Mr.

7.  NEW  TESTAMENT.  New  Ipswich,  N.  H. :  Printed  and  pub 
lished  by  Simeon  Ide.  Date  unknown.  12. 

Not  seen.  Mr.  Ide,  having  purchased  a  small  Ramage  press  and  a  font  of  bourgeois 
type  which  had  already  been  pretty  well  worn  on  an  edition  of  Shakespeare,  placed  them 
in  the  blacksmith's  shop  on  his  father's  farm,  and  undertook  to  print  an  edition  of  the 
New  Testament  in  duodecimo  form.  By  the  assistance  of  a  sister,  about  twelve  years 
old,  in  setting  type,  it  was  accomplished  in  about  six  months.  That  this,  his  first  publi 
cation,  might  be  as  free  from  errors  as  possible,  he  engaged  the  Rev.  Dr.  Payson,  of 
Rindge,  to  read  the  proof  sheets.  As  there  was  only  type  enough  to  set  twelve  pages 
at  a  time,  he  walked  to  his  house,  a  distance  of  four  miles,  twice  a  week,  to  read 
proofs  with  him  ;  and  to  give  greater  currency  to  the  edition,  he  prevailed  on  Dr. 
Payson  to  allow  him  to  insert  on  the  title  page,  "Revised  and  corrected  by  Rev.  S. 
Payson,  D.  D."  Some  of  the  Doctor's  friends  having  got  the  impression  that  he  had 
been  making  a  new  Translation  of  the  Testament,  it  gave  him  no  little  uneasiness.  To 
relieve  him  of  this,  Mr.  Ide  printed  the  words  "  First  New  Ipswich  edition,"  and 
pasted  the  slip  over  the  obnoxious  line.  An  edition  of  5000  was  worked  off,  and  1000 
copies,  in  full  binding,  were  sold  to  the  New  Hampshire  Bible  Society,  for  $280,  which 
was  less  than  cost,  in  order  to  raise  money  to  purchase  paper.  The  others  were 
retailed  at  fifty  cents  a  copy.  Kidder  and  Gould's  History  of  Kew  Ipswich.  Boston,

Though  at  first  view  this  edition  would  seem  to  be  a  Carey's  12°!°  of  1808,  with  only 
new  Title  pages,  yet  the  text  has  evidently  been  recomposed.  Like  the  editions  of 
1812,  1814  and  1817,  there  are  no  head  lines  to  the  columns.  In  many  places  the 
short  s  is  used  where  the  long  f  is  found  in  the  other  edition  ;  and  there  are  no  sig 
nature  figures  to  the  edition  of  1808.  Again,  the  verso  of  the  page  bearing  the  signa 
ture  mark  has  at  foot  figures  which  are  wanting  in  the  ed.  of  1808  ;  thus,  the  verso  of 
sigs.  B  to  G  is  marked  at  foot  78-6,  the  last  mentioned  sig.  having  in  addition  G2  on 
the  verso ;  the  verso  of  II  has  H2,  and  78-6  is  on  foot  of  the  following  p. ;  the  verso

contained  the  Apocrypha,  and  14,750  had  Brown's  Concordance.  Only  500  copies 
were  printed  in  1822,  and  4,475  for  the  fir.st  half  of  1848  ;  this  will  show  the  ratio  of 
increase  from  the  beginning.  The  stereotype  plates  were  made  by  H.  &  E.  P.,  at

pared  with  other  editions,  and  a  premium  offered  to  the  men  in  the  establishment  for 
the  discovery  of  errors,  even  after  the  plates  were  cast. — Letter  of  E.  Phinney,  Esq.

title  page  to  the  New  Test,  has  at  foot  :  "  Ch.  i.  v.  i.  This  title  of  the  book  was  put 
to  it  by  the  Evangelist  himself."  This  note  ought  to  be  at  foot  of  the  first  page  of 
Matthew. 

BERNARD  DORNIN,  a  Catholic  publisher,  announced  this  year

of  the  Doway  Bible,  with  superb  engravings ;  one  in  folio  and  the 
other  in  quarto,  in  order  to  accommodate  purchasers.  He  never 
carried  out  his  plan.  Shea's  Catalogue  of  Catholic  Bibles,  p.  12.

Having  determined  to  publish  the  New  Testament  in  Greek  and  English,  the  editor 
was  solicited  to  publish  his  improved  translation  by  itself,  which  could  be  easily  done 
by  changing  the  forms,  while  the  matter  was  thus  in  type  ;  and  this  circumstance  sug 
gested  the  thought  of  publishing  the  Greek  Testament  also  in  the  same  manner. —

This  differs  in  various  respects  from  the  preceding.  The  engraved  frontis.  of  the 
0.  T.  is  Moses  in  the  bulrushes,  and  is  dated  1827  ;  That  of  the  N.  T.  has  no  date, 
but  the  title  page  is  1831.  This  copy  has  approbations  of  Dr.  Troy  on  the  verso  of 
both  titles  and  that  of  the  Bishop  of  Philadelphia  accompanies  the  N.  T.  The  edition 
preceding  has  neither.

This  Cummiskey  Bible  is  a  reprint  of  Haydock's  folio,  Manchester,  1811-1814, 
(J.  G.  S.)  It  was  published  originally  in  120  weekly  numbers  of  16  pages  each,  at 
twenty-five  cents  a  number.  The  publication  was  commenced  in  1823,  (as  I  infer 
from  the  advertisement  accompanying  No.  20,  which  appeared  at  the  close  of  that 
year)  and  was  completed  in  1825.  The  date  on  the  back  of  the  volume  is :  Philadel 
phia,  1826.  The  price  of  the  work,  bound,  was  $35,  and  the  edition  consisted  of  One 
thousand  copies.  It  was  not  stereotyped. 

Other  copies  are  without  plates,  or  date  on  back.  Plate  No.  20  is  found  in  many 
Bibles — as  to  design.

ALEXANDER  CAMPBELL,  the  editor  and  publisher  of  this  Volume  was  originally 
a  Presbyterian,  but  withdrew  from  that  Church  in  1812,  and  became  a  Baptist.  He 
was  finally  excluded  from  the  fellowship  of  the  Baptist  Churches,  on  account  of  his 
peculiar  views  on  Baptismal  Regeneration,  and  founded  a  religious  sect  called  "Disci 
ples  of  Christ" — popularly  known  as  Campbellites.  Dr.  Doddridge  was  a  Congrega- 
tionalist,  not  a  Presbyterian.

editions.  The  type  of  the  inserted  leaves  is  greatly  spread,  or  spaced  very  open. 

Though  this  professes  to  be  a  Translation  from  the  Latin  Vulgate,  and  therefore  a 
Catholic  Bible,  it  is  only  just  to  state  that  it  does  not  contain  the  1st  and  2d  Books  of 
Maccabees,  which  accompany  all  Catholic  Bibles,  having  been  inserted  in  the  List  of 
Sacred  Books  by  the  Council  of  Trent. 

1.  NEW  TESTAMENT  :     Arranged  in  paragraphs,   such   as  the 

Sense  requires;  the  division  of  the  chapters  and  verses 
being  noted  in  the  margin  for  Reference.  By  James 
Nourse,  A.  M.  $l)ilaZ>elpl)ia  :  Published  by  the  Sunday 
School  Union.  Stereotyped  by  J.  Howe.  1829.  (L.)  8. 

Though  this  work  appeared  in  1827  (see  supra,  p.  186),  the  copyright  and  preface  to  . 
this  second  edition  are  dated  April,  1829.     Two  pp.  of  recommendations  of  the  Plan 
of  the  work,  dated,  mostly,  1826,  precede  the  title.     The  Text  contains  pp.  3-272. 

I  Tim.  4:  16  reads  :     Take  heed  unto  thyself  and  unto  thy  doctrine.

clear  up  the  Principal  difficulties  of  Holy  Writ.  |  As  ap 
proved  by  the  Right  Reverend  John  Dubois,  |  Catholic  Bishop

wisdom  to  little  ones. — Ps.  xviii,  8.  |  Stereotype  Edition.  |

the  volume  was  printed. 

An  error  occurs  in  James,  5:17,  where  the  text  reads — Elias  was  a  man  possible  like 
unto  us.

This  translation  is  from  the  pen  of  the  late  Judge  BENSON,  whose  principal  object 
was  to  give  the  proper  translation  of  the  words  charity  and  bishop,  in  accordance  with 
the  Dutch  Version.  This  he  does  by  substituting  love  for  charity,  and  overseer  for  bishop 
wherever  they  occur.  The  pagination  and  signatures  probably  agreed  with  those  of 
Borne  copy  of  the  Testament  in  general  use,  as  the  Judge  did  not  extend  his  translation 
any  further.  /.  Carson  Brevoort.

Mr.  Cummiskey  informs  me  that  he  sold  the  plates  of  his  12mo  Testament  (See  supra, 
p.  199),  to  Mr.  Lucas,  in  1830  or  1831.  I  have  not  been  able  to  find  a  copy  of  the  Cum 
miskey  12mo,  and  am  therefore  unable  to  say  how  far  that  volume  agrees  with  this  ; 
but  on  comparing  it  with  the  Devereux  Testament  of  1829  (supra,  p.  198),  the  text  of 
both  appears  to  be  identical ;  even  the  error  in  James,  5 : 17,  is  common  to  one  and 
the  other.  The  preliminary  matter  of  the  Devereux  Testament,  included  on  pp.  ii-xi, 
is,  in  the  Lucas  edition,  transferred  to  the  end  of  the  volume,  where  the  "  Table  of 
Controversies  "  is  entitled  "  Table  of  References."  In  consequence  of  this  transfer, 
pp.  iii-xii.  are  not  enumerated  in  the  Lucas  Testament  before  the  text,  which  begins 
immediately  after  the  Title  leaf  and  abruptly  with  p.  13.  If,  as  is  represented,  this 
volume  is  printed  from  the  plates  of  Cumraiskey's  12mo  Testament,  then  it  and  the 
Devereux  Testament  are  from  duplicate  plates  manufactured  by  James  Conner,  N.  Y.

Mr.  Dickinson  has  reformed  the  titles  of  the  several  books  of  the  New  Testament, 
substituting  for  those  generally  received  such  as  the  following :  History  by  Matthew  ; 
Luke's  History  of  Jlpostolic  and  Ecclesiastical  Transactions,-  John's  General  Address  to 
Christians  ;  John's  Letter  to  an  Eminent  Christian  Woman,-  John's  Letters,  Visions,  and 
Prophecies.  Whether  there  is  not  a  ridiculous  affectation  in  all  this,  let  our  readers 
judge.  This  work  is  announced  on  the  title-page  as  a  professed  translation.  By  this 
we  are,  it  is  presumed,  to  understand,  that  it  is  not  an  actual  translation,  but  a  con 
coction  of  materials  in  the  vernacular  tongue,  designed  to  pass  as  a  new  translation. 
And  we  are  very  willing  to  believe  it  a  professed  translation  ;  for  a  pretty  thorough  ex 
amination  has  failed  to  shew  us  the  faintest  traces  of  a  critic's  hand.  Where  ill-chosen 
and  ill-arranged  phraseology  has  not  made  the  work  utterly  unintelligible,  the  sense 
is  generally  the  same  with  that  of  the  received  version,  with  here  and  there  a  modifi 
cation  borrowed  from  Campbell  or  Macknight Apart  from  its  literary  execution, 

this  professed  translation  has  no  distinctive  character :  and,  as  the  author  (in  his  preface) 
places  his  chief  reliance  on  the  rhetorical  embellishments  with  which  he  has  adorned 
the  sacred  text,  we  are  constrained  to  award  a  verdict  of  unqualified  condemnation. 

The  notes  which  form  the  Appendix  to  this  volume,  are  principally  selected  from 
English  and  American  writers.  They  are  excerpted  indifferently  from  writers  of  widely 

varying  creeds He  has  introduced  many  annotations  from  works  not  professedly 

critical.  He  has  elevated  some  men  to  the  rank  of  commentators  on  Scripture,  who 
surely  never  anticipated  that  honour.  He  gives  us  on  the  Logos  a  note  from  Jefferson, 
and  several  of  the  largest  notes  are  credited  to  J.  Q.  Adams,  Chancellor  Kent  and 
Wirt.  The  Free  Enquirer,  an  infidel  paper  published  at  New  York,  furnishes  several 
short  remarks.  And  there  are  some  original  notes,  tinged  with  the  translator's  usual 
grandiloquence." — Am.  Monthly  Review  for  March,  1833,  iii,  221,  222,  223. 

A  correspondent,  who  lias  examined  this  volume,  declares  it  to  be  "  one  of  the  most 
absurd  attempts  to  improve  the  authorized  version  that  has  ever  been  attempted."

The  following  are  some  of  the  renderings : 
Luke  1 : 31.  And  behold,  you  shall  be  in  a  state  of  gestation.

with  joy. 
John  3  :   3.  Except  a  man  be  reproduced,  he  cannot  realize  the  reign  of  God. 

4.  Nicodemus  says  to  him,  How  can  a  man  be  produced  when  he  is  mature  ? 

Can  he  again  pass  into  a  state  of  embryo,  and  be  produced  ?  &c. 
Acts  1  :18.  And  (Judas)  falling  prostrate,  a  violent,  internal  spasm  ensued,  and  all

This  edition  is  accompanied  by  a  certificate  in  these  words  : 

"  We  have  compared  this  New- York  edition  of  the  Romish  Testament  and  Annota 
tions  with  the  first  publication  of  that  volume,  which  was  issued  at  Rheims,  in  1582; 
and,  after  examination,  we  do  hereby  certify,  that  the  present  reprint  is  an  exact  and 
faithful  copy  of  the  original  work,  without  abridgment  or  addition,  except  that  the 
Latin  of  a  few  phrases  which  were  translated  by  the  annotators,  and  some  unimportant 
expletive  words  were  undesignedly  omitted.  The  orthography  also  has  been  modern 
ized." 

The  reader  can  judge  for  himself  how  far  this  is  correct,  by  comparing  the  few 
extracts  we  give  below  (those  marked  (F.)  being  found  also  in  the  edition  of  the 
Rhemes  Testament  published  in  London,  and  known  as  Fulke's  Confutation) :

236  AMERICAN  BIBLES.  [1834— 

We  might  add  other  passages  wherein  the  N.  Y.  edition  varies  from  the  original, 
but  these  will  suffice.     Before  taking  leave  of  the  suhject,  however,  we  can  not  but 

express  a  regret,  that  "  the  Latin  of  a  few  phrases were  undesignedly  omitted ;  " 

as  the  omission  renders  obscure,  if  not  wholly  unintelligible  in  the  reprint,  parts  of 
the  Preface  which,  if  printed  as  in  the  original,  would  be  clear  and  therefore  appreci 
ated  by  the  Biblical  scholar.

Melancthon.  He  has  also  given  more  regular  and  copious  introductions  to  all  the 
books  of  the  New  Testament.

Mr.  Lee  Wilson  is  very  severe  on  Dabney 's  remarks  respecting  the  different  versions ,. 
and  particularly  on  his  ignorance  of  the  number  of  editions  of  Tyndale's  Testament. 
Mr.  Dabney  had  not  the  means  of  informing  himself  on  this  subject,  and  should  have 
been  more  modest  in  his  strictures  on  Mr.  Offer.

Mr.  Conner  having  decided  on  stereotyping  an  elegant  edition  of  the  Polyglott 
Bible  (12mo))  he  got  up  a  new  size  and  style  of  type  called  Agate,  cut  in  a  condensed 
and  compressed  manner ;  the  intention  being  to  admit  of  a  certain  number  of  figures 
and  points  coming  within  a  given  space — the  whole  included  within  a  center  column 
of  notes.  Of  this  Bible  he  made  several  sets  of  plates  from  the  same  composition; 
then  took  out  the  references  and  center  column  of  notes,  and  completed  many  sets  of 
an  18mo  Bible,  and  a  proportionate  number  of  plates  for  the  New  Testament.  N.  T.

This  edition  of  the  Pentateuch  was  undertaken  exclusively  for  the  use  of  the  Jews. 
It  was  first  announced  about  the  year  1838  ;  the  Hebrew  has  been  printed  from  the  text 
of  Rabbi  Wolf  Heidenheim;  as  respects  the  translation,  the  editor  acknowledges  to 
have  received  the  greatest  aid  from  the  Pentateuch  of  Hyman  Arnheim,  of  Glogau, 
the  Bible  of  Zunz,  the  Works  of  Mendelssohn,  Hochstratter,  Johlson,  Heiueman,  and 
others.  He  has  not  looked  at  a  single  work  issued  by  the  English  Jews,  nor  borrowed 
an  idea  or  suggestion  from  any  of  them,  living  or  dead. 

It  is  published  in  two  forms,  12mo  and  8™;  the  former  at  $10,  and  the  latter  at  $12, 
in  paper  covers.

This  is  called  the  Polymicrian  Greek  Testament.  Mr.  Greenfield,  the  editor,  was 
originally  a  bookbinder.  He  eventually  acquired  such  a  knowledge  of  languages 
both  ancient  and  modern,  as  entitled  him  to  rank  with  the  most  eminnent  linguists, 
and  finally  became  superintendent  of  translations  of  the  Bible  in  foreign  languages, 
published  under  the  care  of  the  British  and  Foreign  Bible  Society.  Mr.  Greenfield 
died  in  1831,  at  the  early  age  of  thirty-two.  His  Polymicrian  Greek  Testament  was 
originally  published  in  London  in  1829. 

In  the  present  edition  several  hundred  errors  have  been  corrected,  which  are  said  to 
be  in  the  London  Edition.

This  Bible  was  issued  for  the  first  time  in  November,  1846,  between  which  date  and 
November,  1859,  33,800  copies  have  been  printed,  some  with  the  Apocrypha,  Brown's 
Concordance,  and  the  Psalms  in  Metre.  Those  issued  since  1851  are  without  date. 

Though  represented  by  the  publishers  as  a  "  new  edition,"  it  is  proper  to  add  that 
it  corresponds,  in  the  text  and  other  parts,  with  the  edition  of  Nafis  &  Cornish,  supra

The  translation  is  carefully  executed,  and  the  numerous  notes  are  short,  clear  and 
often  highly  instructive.  Although  the  Bishop  adheres  to  the  distinctive  interpreta 
tion  of  his  church,  there  is  not  throughout  the  entire  volume  a  single  uncharitable 
sentiment,  nor  a  harsh  and  irritating  expression  towards  those  of  another  communion.

pp.  395,  396  (marked  296);  no  sig.  marks  or  letters. 

This  is  called  "  The  Pictorial  Catholic  New  Testament."  It  was  originally  published 
in  numbers,  the  first  in  1848.  It  is  embellished  with  nearly  150  fine  woodcuts,  to 
some  of  which  Mr.  Hewett's  name  is  appended,  who  is  stated  to  be  "  one  of  the  best 
wood  engravers  that  this  country  has  produced."  The  engravings  are  copied  from 
original  masterpieces  of  the  best  artists.  There  are,  in  addition,  marginal  arabesque 
ornaments  adapted  to  each  page  and  also  several  hundred  ornamental  initial  letters, 
one  of  which  embellishes  the  head  of  each  chapter. 

Mr.  Shea  says,  this  Testament  was  edited  by  the  Rev.  James  McMahon  of  New  York, 
who  revised  it  by  the  Vulgate,  and  not  only  made  it  conform  to  the  division  of  the 
verses  in  the  Clementine  edition,  but  in  translating  availed  himself  of  the  Greek,  and 
in  the  Epistles  of  St.  Paul,  of  the  light  which  Hebrew  throws  on  the  Hebraisms  of 
that  Apostle. 

The  edition  was  purchased  in  1854  by  John  Murphy  &  Co.,  Baltimore,  by  whom 
the  work  has  since  been  issued,  and  the  copy  before  us,  though  retaining  the  imprint 
of  Hewett  &  Spooner,  has  "  Baltimore,  Murphy  &  Co.,"  on  the  back  of  the  cover.

published  by  Mr.  Cummiskey  in  1824.  It  was  issued  in  38  parts.  The  Rev.  J.  R. 
Bayley,  now  Bishop  of  Newark,  N.  J.,  edited  a  few  sheets;  the  Rev  J.  McMahon,  the 
remainder.  The  latter  gentleman  made,  says  Mr.  Shea,  many  corrections  in  the  text  and 
notes.  Many  errors  in  the  Old  Testament  have  been  overlooked,  notwithstanding, 
and  a  curious  mistake  is  retained  in  the  original  note  on  Genesis,  1 :  16,  where  light  is 
said  to  "  be  nearly  3000  years  in  coming  to  us  from  the  remotest  star  in  our  stratum;"

Dr.  Allioli  the  editor  of  the  original  edition  of  this  work,  is  a  canon  of  the  Cathe 
dral  of  Ratisbon.  The  American  edition  was  published  in  two  forms  ;  one  as  above; 
another  in  numbers  with  an  engraved  title  page  and  16  plates.  It  was  revised,  and  Dr. 
Allioli's  notes  abridged,  by  the  Rev.  Gabriel  Rumpeler,  one  of  the  Redemptorist  Fathers, 
of  New  York,  who  published  an  edition  or  two  of  it  and  then  passed  the  plates  to  the 


—1852.]  AMERICAN  BIBLES.  323 

Messrs.  Sadlier  who  sold  about  2000  copies.  The  plates  have  since  been  sold  to  a 
house  in  Germany,  whence  this  market  is  supplied,  as  there  is  no  Catholic  Bible 
published  at  present  in  German  in  the  United  States. 

The  following  is  a  Translation  of  the  Preface  prefixed,  by  Father  Rumpeler,  to  the 
New  Testament : 

The  reading  of  the  Bible  has  become,  among  the  Catholic  population  of  the  United 
States  of  America,  a  general  practice,  by  what  authority  we  shall  not  stop  to  inquire. 
Suffice  it,  the  universal  practice  hath  created  a  habit  which  we  do  not  praise,  neither 
will  we  absolutely  condemn.  The  actual  want,  universally  perceptible,  of  a  German 
Catholic  Bible  approved  by  the  Holy  See,  up  to  this  time  a  desideratum  in  this  coun 
try,  hath  induced  us  rather  to  transplant  into  American  soil  this  truly  literal  Trans 
lation  of  the  Holy  Scriptures  by  Dr.  FRANZ  AILIOLI,  which  has  been  received 
with  universal,  undivided  approbation,  is  widely  dispersed  and  obtains  at  present  in 
Germany  an  almost  exclusive  circulation,  in  order  thereby  to  provide  against  the 
erroneous  understanding  of  the  word  of  God,  often  occasioned  by  the  use  of  Protest 
ant,  as  well  as  numerous  corrupt  Catholic,  Bibles,  especially  that  of  Van  Ess.  To 
facilitate  the  purchase  of  this  Book,  the  editor  hath  thought  proper  to  abridge  the 
often  recurring,  less  necessary,  and  more  abstruse  notes  in  the  original  work  which 
have  been  approved  by  several  Bishops ;  yet  so,  that  the  sense  thereof  has  now 
suffered  a  change  in  but  very  few  instances  which  have  been  seen  and  approved  by 
our  Most  Reverend  Bishop  Dr.  John  Hughes.  The  editor  thus  hopes  to  have  supplied 
a  pressing  want,  and  to  have  merited  the  gratitude,  of  the  public.

Acts  8  :  30  —  Do  you  understand  the  book  which  you  are 
reading  ?  |  By  Hezekiah  Woodruff.  |  Auburn  :  |  Henry 
Oliphant,  Printer,  Genesee  Street.  |  1852.  |  16. 

The  object  of  the  author  of  this  edition  has  been  (he  says)  to  present  the  rising 
generation  with  the  Holy  Scriptures  in  an  idiom  with  which  they  are  familiar.     Ac 
cordingly,   the  Gospel  of  St.  Matthew  (the  only  one  contained   in  the  volume)  is 
entitled,  "  The  Good  News  of  Salvation  according  to  Matthew  ;  "  The  Acts  of  the 
Apostles  —  "  The  Doings  of  the  Commissioners  ;  "  The  Epistles  —  "  The  Letter  of  Paul 
(a  Commissioner),  to  the  Romans,"  or  Corinthians  &c.  '  The  word,  Lord,  is  turned  into 
"  Sovereign  ;  "  the  proper  name  of  the  Saviour  is  "  The  Anointed,"  and  the  Disci 
ples  are  called,  "  Pupils."     The  following  are  specimens  of  the  text  : 
John  the  Baptist's  "  food  was  small  animals  and  vegetable  honey."     Mat.  3:4. 
Happy  are  they  who  hunger  and  thirst  for  correctness.     Ibid  5  :  6. 
Unless  your  correctness  shall  exceed  the  correctness  of  the  clergy.     Ibid  5  :20. 
Whoever  shall  say  to  his  brother,   Silly   fellow  ----  and  whoever  shall  say  to   him 

Abandoned  Wretch,  will  be  in  danger  of  eternal  burnings.     Ibid  5  :  22.

London  in  1853,  in  two  volumes,  with  51  engravings.  The  plates  were  afterwards 
imported  into  this  country  and  the  work  is  issued  in  New  York  in  36  numbers. 

In  regard  to  the  Notes,  I  am  inclined  to  think  (says  Archd.Cotton)  from  an  inspection 
of  the  first  two  chapters  of  Genesis  only,  that  the  "  abridgment "  has  been  made  care 
lessly,  and  in  a  manner  more  calculated  to  obscure  the  sense  than  illustrate  it.  For 
instance,  in  a  note  on  Genesis,  1 : 19,  Haydock  spoke  of  "  the  remotest  star  in  our 
stratum  "  (a  misprint  for  "  system")  "  beyond  which  are  others  immensely  distant," 

42 


330  AMERICAN  BIBLES.  [1853— 

&c.  Dr.  Husenbeth  leaves  out  the  words,  "in  our  stratum,"  and  by  doing  so  con 
trives  to  give  the  sentence  rather  an  ambiguous  turn,  "  the  remotest  star,  beyond 
which  are  others  "  &c.  Again,  in  a  note  on  Genesis,  2  :  2,  Haydock  speaking  of  the 
seventh  day  observed,  "  This  day  was  commanded,  Ex.  xx,  8.  to  be  kept  holy  by  the 
Jews,  as  it  had  probably  been  from  the  beginning.  Philo  says,  it  is  the  festival  of 
the  Universe,  and  Josephus  asserts,  there  is  no  town  which  does  not  acknowledge 
the  religion  of  the  sabbath.  But  this  point  is  controverted  ''  &c.  Dr.  Husenbeth  omits 
the  whole  of  the  passage  from  "  Philo  "  to  "  Sabbath  "  inclusive  yet  goes  on,  "  But

The  Text  is  in  English,  printed  in  double  columns.  Mr.  Leeser  the  translator  "  is 
an  Israelite  in  faith  in  the  full  sense  of  the  word."  In  style  he  has  endeavored  to 
adhere  to  that  of  the  ordinary  English  Version,  whilst  he  has  taken  so  much  care  to 
avoid  its  faults,  that  this  may  be  called  a  new  Version  especially  as  regards  the  Pro 
phets,  Psalms  and  Job.  No  individual  has  been  questioned  as  to  the  meaning  of 
any  word,  and  Bagster's  Bible  is  the  only  English  book  that  has  been  consulted  in  the 
progress  of  the  translation,  which  occupied  occasionally  more  than  fifteen  years.

but  there  are  only  two  (Mary  Magdalen  and  the  Three  Maries),  in  the  New  Testament 
of  the  date  of  1855. 

The  following  errors  are  noted  in  this  edition  : 
Exodus   8  :  22,  The  words  "  wherein  my  people  is  "  are  omitted. ' 

35  :  23,  The  words  "  fine  linen  and  goats  hair,  rams'  skins  dyed  "  are  omitted. 

36  :  34,  The  words  "  casting  for  them  sockets  of  silver,"  are  omitted. 

Josue      7  :  17,  The  words,  "  Zare,  Bringing  that  also  by  the  houses,  he  found  it  to  be  " 
are  omitted.

The  stereotype  plates  from  which  the  above  volume  was  printed  are  very  badly 
worn ;  they  seem  to  have  been  originally  cast  for  Collins's  4to  Bible,  see  supra  1821,  with, 
which  this  edition  agrees  in  every  respect.  The  Psalms  in  Metre,  pp.  1-22  are,  how

Archbishop  Kenrick's  revision  of  the  Douay  Version  is  an  immense  labor,  and  one 
which  has  as  yet  been  hardly  appreciated  according  to  its  merits.  It  is  a  work  on 
which  has  been  bestowed  a  vast  amount  of  rare  and  valuable  learning,  every  text, 
every  word  seems  to  have  been  the  object  of  diligent  study,  and  of  careful  comparison 
with  the  original  text.  Few  persons,  till  they  compare  the  two,  will  suspect  its  very 
great  superiority  over  our  common  Douay  Bibles,  either  in  accuracy  or  elegance.

however,  has  been  followed  "  at  the  urgent  request  of  the  publishers,  though  contrary

The  Columbian  Family  Bible  was  published  in  numbers ;  the  subscription  amounted 
to  upwards  of  3000.  It  is  without  Marginal  References.  MR.  TEAL  the  publisher, 
came  to  America  about  the  year  1820,  as  book  agent  for  an  English  house,  and  after 
wards  went  into  business  on  his  own  account,  when  he  undertook  to  republish,  by 
subscription,  an  English  Family  Bible,  but  whose  edition  is  not  stated.  Calling  on 
the  Rev.  JONATHAN  HOMER,  D.  D.,  of  Newtown,  Mass.,  that  clergyman  learned  that  no 
person  had  been  engaged  to  see  to  the  correctness  of  the  work,  and  thereupon  under 
took  that  responsibility.  (Melvin  Lord.)  He  accordingly  revised  the  Practical  Ob 
servations  ;  condensed  many  of  the  Notes  of  the  original  edition,  those  especially  from 
the  commencement  of  the  Prophets  being  new;  almost  wholly  rewrote  the  Arguments 
prefixed  to  the  Books  from  the  beginning  of  Isaiah,  and  corrected  the  dates  of  writing 
those  of  the  New  Testament.  (Preface.)  The  work  was  printed  or  set  up  in  the  esta 
blishment  of  Richardson  &  Lord,  Boston,  and  on  account  of  the  conductor  of  the 
Office,  J.  H.  A.  Frost.  (Mr.  Lord.)  Dr.  Homer  was  a  graduate  of  Harvard  College ; 
possessed  a  collection  of  rare  Bibles  and  was  quite  a  critic.  He  died  llth  August, 
1843,  having  been  fifty  years  in  the  ministry.

MANUSCRIPTS. 


1.  A  Manuscript  Translation  of  the  Scriptures  into  trie  Eng 

lish  Language,  made  by  some  former  Member  of  Prince 
ton  College,  N.  J.     n.  d.  fol. 

This  title  is  taken  from  the  Catalogue  of  Books  contained  in  the  Library  of  the 
American  Bible  Society.  New  York,  1855,  p.  At  our  request  the  manuscript  has 
been  examined  by  J.  G.  SHEA,  Esq.,  the  well  known  biblical  scholar,  who  describes  it 
as  a  set  of  foolscap  sheets  numbered  from  33  to  306,  of  what  is  technically  called 
copy,  having  the  usual  marks  of  the  printer  and  having  already  passed  through 
the  press.  It  includes  from  Psalms  22:  20,  to  the  end  of  that  book,  Proverbs,  Eccle- 
siastes,  Solomon's  Song,  Esaias,  Jereiuias,  Jonas,  Micha,  Nahum,  Habbakkuk,  Sophon- 
rias,  Haggai,  Zacharias  and  Malachi.  On  comparing  it  with  CHARLES  THOMSON'S  edi 
tion  of  the  Septuagint  and  with  his  handwriting,  it  is  found  to  be  undoubtedly  a. 
portion  of  the  autograph  translation  of  that  work.  The  ascribed  authorship  in  the 
Catalogue  is  therefore  erroneous. 

2.  THE  GOSPELS,  written  in  the  Negro  Patois  of  English  with 

Arabic    characters,   by  London,    a    Mandingo   Slave    in 
Georgia. 

This  manuscript  is  in  the  possession  of  W.  B.  Hodgson,  Esq.,  of  Savannah,  into- 
whose  hands  it  came  some  time  after  London's  death.  The  manuscript  has  the  vowel 
points  correctly  used.  He  apparently  got  some  one  to  read  the  Bible  for  him  and  he 
wrote  it  phonetically,  using  Arabic  letters.  Mr.  Hodgson  in  a  paper  on  it  read  before- 
the  Ethnological  Society  in  1857,  gave  the  following  as  a  specimen  : 
Fas  chapta  ab  jon, 

Inde  beginnen  wasde  wad ; 
Ande  Wad  waswid  Gad, 
Ande  wad  was  Gad.  /.  G.  &
